Located in the newly renovated UAB Highlands facility, the Pain Treatment Clinic hosts 6000 patient visits per year, including over 1000 new patient evaluations and approximately 2000 interventional pain procedures each year. Our division works closely in collaboration with the departments of PM&R, Orthopedics, Neurology, Psychiatry, and Palliative Care to provide comprehensive care for our patients.
