Chronic Pain Management in Torrance and the South Bay
Chronic pain can affect movement, sleep, mood, work, relationships, and quality of life. It may come from nerve pain, spine conditions, joint problems, prior injury, post-surgical pain, complex regional pain syndrome, headaches, or pain that persists after an initial injury has healed.
Pacific Pain & Wellness Group provides chronic pain evaluation and treatment planning in Torrance for patients across the South Bay and greater Los Angeles area. The goal is to identify likely pain sources, improve function where possible, and match treatment to the patient's diagnosis, medical history, prior treatment response, and goals.
How Chronic Pain Is Evaluated
Chronic pain care starts with a careful review of symptoms, duration, location, prior imaging, prior procedures, medications, function, sleep, mood, and medical history. Pain may involve muscles, joints, discs, nerves, inflammation, central sensitization, or multiple overlapping factors.
Because chronic pain can affect mental health and stress, our practice also considers whether depression, anxiety, trauma symptoms, or sleep problems are influencing the pain experience.

Treatment Options That May Be Considered
A chronic pain plan may include one or more treatment paths depending on the diagnosis and safety considerations:
- Epidural injections for selected spine and nerve-related pain patterns.
- Facet joint injections for selected joint-related spine pain.
- Diagnostic and therapeutic nerve blocks to help clarify or treat selected pain sources.
- Radiofrequency ablation when diagnostic blocks suggest targeted nerves are contributing to pain.
- Spinal cord stimulation evaluation for certain chronic pain patterns that have not responded to other care.
- Medication management when clinically appropriate.
- Ketamine infusions for chronic pain for carefully selected patients after eligibility review.
Back Pain, Joint Pain, and Nerve Pain
Many chronic pain patients have overlapping pain generators. Back pain may involve discs, facet joints, irritated nerves, stenosis, or muscular contributors. Joint pain may involve arthritis, joint degeneration, inflammation, or sacroiliac joint pain. Nerve pain may cause burning, shooting, tingling, numbness, or radiating symptoms.
For more focused information, see our Back Pain Treatment Options and Joint Pain Treatment Options hubs.
CRPS and Neuropathic Pain
Complex regional pain syndrome and neuropathic pain require careful evaluation. Symptoms can include burning pain, sensitivity, swelling, color or temperature changes, stiffness, numbness, tingling, or pain that seems disproportionate to the original injury. Treatment may involve medication management, nerve blocks, rehabilitation strategies, interventional pain care, and selected advanced options.
Chronic Pain and Mental Health
Long-term pain can worsen mood, anxiety, sleep, energy, and daily function. Mental health symptoms can also make pain harder to manage. Pacific Pain & Wellness Group offers both pain management and mental health services, which helps when patients need coordinated care.
Request a Chronic Pain Evaluation
If pain has lasted for months, returned repeatedly, limited activity, disrupted sleep, or affected quality of life, a pain management evaluation can help clarify the next step. Pacific Pain & Wellness Group can review whether injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, medication management, ketamine evaluation, mental health support, or another care path is appropriate.
