Pain Management Care Near You
Chronic pain, whether it's in your back, neck, or joints, can wear on more than just your body. Our pain management team at Penn Highlands Healthcare focuses on real, lasting relief, combining medication and interventional treatments without relying on long-term opioid use.
Whether you're dealing with a new injury or pain that's been building for years, we start by understanding what's driving it, then build a treatment plan around what actually works for you.
Conditions We Treat
We treat the full range of chronic pain conditions, including back pain, neck pain, joint pain, osteoarthritis, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome, discogenic pain, pinched nerves, facial pain and headaches, and synovial cysts. Back, neck, and joint pain are among the most common reasons people come to see us, often after an injury or as arthritis progresses.
Our Approach to Pain Management
Our team combines medication management, favoring non-opioid options whenever possible, with interventional treatments like steroid injections, nerve blocks, nerve ablation, spinal cord stimulation, and procedures such as kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty. Physical therapy and other supportive therapies, including massage and acupuncture, are often part of your plan as well.
Because back, neck, and joint pain often overlap with orthopedic and sports medicine concerns, our pain management specialists work closely with our orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine doctors to coordinate your care rather than treating each piece in isolation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do pain management doctors do?
Pain management doctors diagnose and treat chronic pain using a mix of medication, physical therapy, and interventional procedures like injections or nerve blocks, aiming to reduce pain and improve function without relying on long-term opioid use.
Does pain management always involve opioids?
No. We use opioids only on a short-term basis when appropriate, and lean on alternatives such as physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, steroid injections, nerve blocks, and spinal cord stimulation for longer-term relief.
What are the most common types of pain you treat?
Spinal pain, including low back, upper back, and neck pain that can radiate into the arms or legs, along with joint pain from injury or osteoarthritis, are among the most common conditions we see.
Can back pain be treated without surgery?
Yes. The vast majority of back pain can be treated without surgery. Nearly 80% of adults experience back pain at some point, and most cases improve within a few weeks; when pain lasts three months or longer, it's worth a specialist evaluation.
Do I need a referral for pain management?
Ask your primary care provider about a referral to a pain management specialist. Requirements can vary by insurance plan, so our team can also help you sort out what's needed.
