Episode 39: Pain Management in Cancer Patients – New Technology!

When pain becomes part of a cancer diagnosis, quality of life can change dramatically. In this episode of the Team Senior Podcast, Jamie Callahan sits down once again with Dr. Sean Sills of Touchstone Interventional Pain Center to discuss modern, minimally invasive pain-management options that many patients and families don’t realize exist.

Dr. Sills explains how interventional pain management can help cancer patients—and others suffering from chronic or neuropathic pain—find meaningful relief when traditional medications are no longer enough. The conversation focuses on spinal cord stimulation, new advancements in technology, what the process looks like for patients, and who may be a good candidate.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What interventional pain management is and how it differs from traditional pain treatment
• How spinal cord stimulation works and why it’s changing pain care
• What cancer-related and diabetic neuropathy pain can feel like
• What the trial process looks like before permanent implantation
• Real-life success stories and quality-of-life improvements
• Risks, benefits, and long-term outcomes of this technology
