Pain Management Referrals

If you are a physician with a patient who is experiencing chronic or severe pain, don’t hesitate to contact the Pain Management Center at Cooper at 856.963.6770. Whether you’re an oncologist, rheumatologist, orthopedist, or other specialist, we can collaborate with you to create a comprehensive treatment plan for your patient’s pain relief.

In addition to the therapies listed below, we manage pain through medication, supportive care, psychological counseling, physical therapy, and spinal cord stimulation.  

Injections

Our doctors provide injections in more than 40 areas of the body to help relieve pain. Types of injections include:

  • Caudal epidural space for lower back and leg pain

Our specialists may also use neurolytic injections, consisting of alcohol or other chemicals, to intentionally destroy nerves. We give these injections where needed throughout the body.
