Targeted relief for complex cancer-related pain.
Cancer and cancer treatments can cause significant pain that is often difficult to manage with medications alone. Pain may originate from tumors affecting bones or nerves, from cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, or from structural changes caused by metastatic disease.
At Well&You, we provide advanced interventional pain therapies designed specifically for cancer-related pain. These minimally invasive procedures target pain at its source, helping reduce symptoms while limiting the side effects of high-dose systemic medications.
Our physicians work closely with oncology teams to ensure pain management supports the patient’s overall cancer treatment plan.
Cancer pain often requires a multidisciplinary approach.
At Well&You, our specialists collaborate with oncologists, radiation oncologists, and palliative care teams to determine when interventional therapies may help patients achieve better pain control.
Our approach focuses on:
These treatments are designed to improve comfort, maintain function, and support quality of life throughout the cancer care journey.
Bone tumor ablation is an image-guided procedure used to treat painful bone tumors, including those caused by metastatic cancer.
Using thermal energy such as radiofrequency, microwave, or cryoablation, physicians precisely destroy tumor tissue while preserving surrounding healthy structures.
This treatment can:
Studies report 70–90% pain relief for many patients with painful bone metastases following ablation.
Because the procedure is minimally invasive, it is typically performed on an outpatient basis and allows for faster recovery than surgical alternatives.
An intrathecal pain pump delivers medication directly into the spinal fluid where pain signals are processed.
This allows powerful pain relief to be achieved using much lower doses of medication compared with oral or intravenous treatments.
Intrathecal therapy may help:
For patients whose pain has become difficult to control with traditional medications, intrathecal therapy can be an important part of a comprehensive pain management strategy.
Cancer and cancer treatments can damage or irritate nerves, producing neuropathic pain that may feel burning, shooting, or tingling.
When medications do not provide sufficient relief, advanced interventional therapies may be recommended.
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)
A small electrode is placed near the affected nerve to deliver mild electrical impulses that disrupt pain signals before they reach the brain. PNS is particularly effective for localized nerve pain.
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS)
Electrodes placed near the spinal cord help modulate pain signals traveling to the brain, making it useful for more widespread or complex neuropathic pain.
Both therapies are minimally invasive and can significantly reduce pain while decreasing dependence on systemic medications.
Many interventional cancer pain procedures are covered when medically necessary. Well&You works with most major insurance plans, including Medicare.

Managing cancer-related pain is an essential part of comprehensive cancer care.
Advanced interventional therapies can help patients maintain mobility, improve daily function, and reduce the burden of pain during treatment.
