Welcome to the South Coast Pain Services
Pain is a debilitating medical problem that can have a major impact on a person’s physical and
mental well-being. South Coast Pain Services offer a comprehensive range of treatment options
for patients suffering from acute and chronic pain.
South Coast Pain Services include a team of pain medicine specialists providing some of the
most advanced treatment options in a supportive and compassionate environment with the aim of
returning patients to a pain free, independent life.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help people improve their pain control and reduce the associated stress, anxiety
and depression through knowledge and understanding. Our aim is to develop an individualized
care plan tailored to your condition and degree of pain and your personal needs. Your treatment
might include a multimodal approach using a combination of different therapies including
medication, interventional procedures (such as injections) and rehabilitation therapies.
