The Pain Management Center is an off-campus, outpatient department operated by Mount Nittany Medical Center that treats about 2,500 patients each year.
Our patients come to us with pain that outlasts the normal healing period following an accident or injury. Many patients have pain related to other conditions for which physical therapy, steroid therapy or pain medication haven't been enough to relieve their discomfort.
Our clinical team offers treatments to patients diagnosed with:
Back and lower extremity pain
Sciatic pain
Failed back injury syndrome
Cancer pain
Head, neck and upper extremity pain
Musculoskeletal pain
Complex regional pain syndrome
Spasticity (stiff or rigid muscles or unusual tightness)
Neuralgia and neuropathy (pain from nerve injuries and diabetes)
Torticollis (a twisted neck condition)
Most other chronic pain conditions
We offer a full range of interventional pain management therapies to help patients relieve and manage chronic pain. To assist patients in reaching the goal of improving their quality of life, we offer the following services and treatments:
Chemodenervation with BOTOX® for migraines, torticollis and myositis
Spinal diagnostics: discography, selective nerve root and facet nerve blocks, C2 dorsal root injections and atlantoaxial injections
Spinal cord stimulation and peripheral nerve stimulation/retrograde epidural stimulation
Radiofrequency nerve ablation for chronic shoulder pain
Facial pain injections, cryolesioning and C2 trigeminal nerve injections
Disk procedures: intradiscal electrothermal therapy, nucleoplasty and Dekompressor

Epidural and subarachnoid neurolysis
Joint injections

Our pain management specialists can determine what treatment is best for you. Most procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, using intravenous sedation when required, to return patients to normal activities soon after treatment.
Talk with your physician about a referral. Most of our patients qualify for insurance coverage. Consult your insurance provider to confirm.
Mount Nittany Health’s Pain Management Center is pleased to offer a new treatment for patients experiencing chronic shoulder pain — a common and, at times, debilitating condition. Using radiofrequency nerve ablation, improvement in pain is possible in patients for whom surgery, medication and/or physical therapy have not resolved the condition. Benefits of this procedure include:
Minimal invasion
No downtime
Non-opioid option
In-office treatment
Results lasting 6–12 months (can be repeated if needed)
Medicare coverage
Please call our practice if you have any questions or if you would like more information about this option.
