About Us

The Division of Pain Management is comprised of the Emory Pain Center and its satellite locations (Winship Integrative Oncology bldg. C, 1525 Clifton Road, Emory John’s Creek, EP12, Winship at Emory Midtown), Grady Pain Center, VA Pain Center, and the Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Service at Emory University Hospital, Emory University Hospital Midtown, Grady and VA.

The Emory Pain Management Center is our state-of-the-art outpatient clinic which treats a broad array of pain syndromes. Our primary outpatient Center is located in the Medical Office Tower at Emory University Hospital Midtown with satellite locations at Emory 1525 Clifton and Winship Cancer Center of Emory University. Our goal is to return patients to an active, healthy lifestyle by accurately diagnosing and targeting the patient’s pain using evidence-based techniques.

Our Acute Pain Service utilizes regional anesthesia techniques to minimize postoperative pain, improve patients’ ability to tolerate physical therapy, and minimize medication side effects; we also provide inpatient consultations to optimize pain management in nonsurgical patients.

We train six (6) pain fellows in our Interventional Pain Medicine Fellowship utilizing a multidisciplinary framework incorporating principles from:

Anesthesia
Physical medicine
Rehabilitation
Neurology
Psychiatry

Providing a comprehensive foundation in the diagnosis and management of acute, chronic, and cancer pain.
