UPMC offers a comprehensive range of spine care and pain management services for patients suffering from acute or chronic pain due to spine conditions, including:

Intrathecal drug pump — device that delivers pain medication to the spinal fluid.

Spinal cord stimulation — uses low voltage stimulation to block.

Dorsal root entry zone — beneficial to brachial plexus avulsion patients.

Selective nerve root injection — injection of cortisone around the nerve root.
