Without treatment the pain after some surgical procedures may be unbearable.
Anesthesiologists are physicians who are especially suited for managing severe pain.
We use potent painkillers during the anesthesia and have mastered special pain relieving techniques such as epidural and spinal analgesia and nerve blocks. Our patients need a wide variety of techniques to help with painful conditions such as postoperative pain, childbirth and non-surgical painful conditions. At The Scarborough Hospital we believe in using multiple techniques and have developed a team approach to pain management. The team consists of an anesthesiologist and the pain nurse coordinator. We visit every patient referred to us by a surgeon or an obstetrician.
