Cancer pain can be one of the most challenging aspects of a cancer diagnosis, significantly affecting a patient’s physical and emotional well-being. It may result from the cancer itself—due to tumor growth pressing on nerves, bones, or organs—or as a side effect of cancer treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. The intensity and type of pain vary depending on the stage, location, and type of cancer. Some patients experience sharp, shooting pain, while others report a constant dull ache or burning sensation.
Effective pain management is essential for improving the quality of life of cancer patients. Treatment options include opioid and non-opioid pain medications, nerve blocks, epidural injections, spinal cord stimulators, and integrative therapies like acupuncture. Palliative care teams work closely with oncologists to ensure patients receive the best pain relief options while minimizing side effects.
At Solace Pain and Spine Management, we provide personalized pain relief strategies to support cancer patients in their fight against pain, helping them maintain comfort and dignity throughout their journey.
