Finding Relief: Exploring Pain Management Services at Baylor Scott & White Surgical Hospital Fort Worth

Chronic pain can make everyday activities feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. At Baylor Scott & White Surgical Hospital Fort Worth, our dedicated pain management team works with you to pinpoint the source of your discomfort and recommend treatments designed for lasting relief.

 

Comprehensive Outpatient Pain Management

 

Our Fort Worth facility treats a wide range of pain conditions, from chronic lower back and neck pain to fibromyalgia, sciatica, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy. By offering care on an outpatient basis, we help you return home the same day while still providing therapies tailored to your needs.

 

Epidural Steroid Injections

 

When inflammation around spinal nerves leads to persistent back or leg pain, an epidural steroid injection can offer targeted relief. During this minimally invasive procedure, a physician numbs the skin and injects a small dose of corticosteroid medication into the epidural space around the affected nerve using real-time imaging for precision. Many patients experience reduced inflammation, improved mobility, and enhanced comfort—often enough to participate more fully in physical therapy or daily activities. Side effects are uncommon but may include a temporary increase in pain, mild headache, or, rarely, an infection. Your physician will discuss how many injections are appropriate for your situation and how to space them safely.

 

Intrathecal Pain Pump Implants

 

For patients whose pain does not respond adequately to oral medications, an intrathecal pain pump delivers medication directly into the fluid surrounding the spinal cord. This approach allows for much smaller drug doses—such as opioids or non-opioid analgesics—while minimizing systemic side effects like drowsiness or gastrointestinal upset. A small, programmable pump is placed under the skin (typically in the abdomen) and connected via a catheter to the intrathecal space. Refills and adjustments are performed in our outpatient clinic, ensuring you maintain steady pain control without prolonged hospital stays.

 

Personalized Support

 

Beyond procedures, our pain management program emphasizes a whole-person approach. After comprehensively evaluating your medical history, pain patterns, and daily goals, we’ll work alongside physical and occupational therapists to improve strength, flexibility, and posture. Behavioral health specialists help develop coping strategies for stress and anxiety, while education on self-management techniques empowers you to take an active role in your recovery.
