Cancer Pain

Cancer pain may arise from:

• Tumor pressure on bones, nerves, or organs

• Chemotherapy or radiation side effects

• Postsurgical recovery

• Inflammatory or nerve-related processes

Symptoms may include aching, sharp or burning pain, limited mobility, and fatigue. A comprehensive evaluation helps target appropriate management strategies.

Our process includes:

• Thorough review of cancer and treatment history

• Physical and neurologic assessment

• Imaging or diagnostic nerve blocks where needed

• Collaboration with your oncology or surgical team

This approach ensures a pain management plan aligned with your medical condition and goals.

Management may involve:

• Pharmacologic interventions (e.g., neuropathic agents, non-opioid options)

• Image-guided nerve blocks or regional injections

• Spinal cord stimulation for refractory pain

• Physical and occupational therapy for functional support

• Complementary therapies (e.g., relaxation techniques, massage, desensitization)

All therapies are tailored to clinical needs, symptom patterns, and safety considerations.

Our aim is to:

• Support comfort and mobility

• Reduce reliance on high-dose medications

• Manage side effects related to the pain plan

• Coordinate care alongside cancer treatment teams

While outcomes vary, clinical evidence supports that appropriate management can significantly improve daily well-being.

Our expert team—including Dr. Zwade Marshall, and Dr. Jennifer Xiong—focuses on:

• Evidence-based pain diagnostics and methods

• Individualized care coordinated across medical disciplines

• Compassionate, professional support in Atlanta, Marietta, and Fayetteville, GA

We aim to provide patients with dignity, control, and comfort during cancer care.
