Management for Chronic Hip, Leg, and Foot Pain at Shepherd Center
Interventional pain management and treatments for chronic hip, leg, and foot pain
Hip, leg, and foot pain can be any persistent pain in the lower back, hip, buttock, upper thigh, knee, lower leg, ankle, or foot. Pain in these areas may be caused by injury, nerve damage, muscle inflammation, or joint problems. When pain in the hip, leg, or foot becomes chronic, the exact source of the pain can be difficult to identify and complex to treat.

This comprehensive and holistic approach to chronic pain management includes a variety of treatment options such as interventional pain management treatments, physical therapy, pain psychology, and referrals to other specialists and clinics at Shepherd Center.

Patient TestimonialDr. Shaw treated me with compassion and kindness, while acting quickly to relieve the pain and begin the healing process.

Psychological Therapy Services for Chronic Hip, Leg, and Foot Pain
Our comprehensive approach to pain management also addresses the psychological and emotional responses to pain — such as stress, anxiety, or depression — which can often contribute to a vicious cycle of pain. Our dedicated pain psychologist is trained to help people with chronic pain improve their conditions and symptoms for the mind, body, and soul. Both individual and group sessions are available and use evidence-based techniques such as biofeedback, mindfulness-based training, and cognitive behavioral restructuring.
