Interventional Pain Care
At Cellara Pain Institute, we take the time to understand and support your pain management needs. Each patient receives an individualized care plan based on a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation. Treatment options may include referrals to physical therapy, minimally invasive image-guided interventional procedures, or medication management.
Our Harvard-trained physicians work closely with you to identify the precise cause of your pain and provide a variety of evidence-based options to manage your chronic condition. We also collaborate with your primary care physician or referring provider to ensure continuity of care and to keep them updated on your treatment progress.
