Pain management is an aspect of medicine and healthcare that are involved in diagnosis and management of various type of acute to chronic painful conditions. Often, pain can be an initial warning sign that something may be wrong in the body and may need to be addressed. Our mission is to correctly diagnose and treat painful conditions quickly, by utilizing therapies, medications, behavior modifications, patient education and pain blocks and procedures to reduce, manage and possibly prevent further pain. Pain management treatment should be also considered when wanting to avoid surgical intervention or when surgical treatment is no longer a treatment option.

We treat acute to chronic pain for patients of all ages. It is usually started with obtaining detailed history, comprehensive physical examination and obtaining and reviewing appropriate imaging studies. Further evaluation, including electrodiagnostic test, EMG/NCS, or further imaging studies and blood test(s) may be needed. Our goal is to achieve best possible outcome and provide best possible advice.
Each treatment is tailored to each individual, taking into account the severity of patient’s condition. Dr. Keum performs variety of pain management procedures, including medial branch blocks, facet joint injections, epidural blocks, various joint injections, peripheral nerve blocks and radiofrequency ablations. We do refer patients to outpatient therapies, when needed, and we have great relationships with all of the therapy facilities.

Since every insurance company have multiple plans, we encourage all potential patients to contact our office for further enquiry. Even though we usually accept your insurance company, but we may not be under certain specific plan.
Unfortunately, we do not accept self-pay or cash patients. We also do not accept patients who are actively being treated for injuries due to a motor vehicle accident.
