Pain Management

The Pain Management Division of Seaport Orthopaedic Associates was created to treat individuals who suffer from acute and chronic pain. The cause of pain is specific to each unique patient. Therefore, we firmly believe that good pain management begins with a good diagnosis. Our approach is a multidisiplinary one; we consider the patient's total medical condition and emotional well-being.
