Roane General Hospital offers comprehensive, minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of pain while minimizing the use of habit-forming medications. Through a review of your medical history, a physical examination, and imaging studies used to diagnose underlying conditions that cause chronic pain, we use specific tools including electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies to further design your treatment plan. We utilize special injection techniques and nerve blocks to treat many conditions while following the highest standards of patient care.
