This adds to unnecessary health costs. In our community, we are fortunate to have South Bay Pain Management, pain medicine specialists, providing thorough diagnostic evaluations and sophisticated medical techniques to treat pain problems. Using a multidisciplinary approach to pain management, they go beyond just medications.
