WILLEMSTAD - Curacao Medical Center (CMC) offers interventional pain treatment; a relatively new medical specialty that offers diagnosis and treatment to patients with all types of pain. The majority of patients referred to pain specialists at the CMC are those whose pain has been persistent and has not responded to the normal and standard medical treatments offered by their primary care physician or other specialists.
Patients with pain related to common acute or chronic conditions, such as back pain, diabetes and other nerve injuries, cancer-related pain, and postoperative or accidental injuries, benefit from the expertise that a pain specialist can provide.
The CMC's interventional pain anesthesiologists can treat all pain levels with minimally invasive techniques such as injection therapy or radiofrequency. All procedures are performed on an outpatient basis.
