PAIN MANAGEMENT

Chronic pain can be caused by a number of disorders, affecting all aspects of your physical and psychological well-being. Pain conditions are often treatable, which is why we are committed to provide you with safe and effective pain management through the continuum of care. We offer a wide range of services that deal with both chronic and acute onset pain designed to treat many kinds of pain due to disease, aging-related issues and other conditions.

Pain conditions are often treatable through a number of different protocols, but not every approach works for everyone, which is why the expert oversight of the physicians and staff at our facilities is so critical to helping you find the right care for your pain. If you would like to schedule an appointment with our pain management physician, Dr. Matthew Johnson, call 903-885-1740.

PODIATRY

Dr. Lanhuong Pham, podiatrist (more commonly known as a foot and ankle specialist), has expanded her practice from Winnsboro into Sulphur Springs. Dr. Pham will continue to see patients in Winnsboro on Tuesdays and be available in Sulphur Springs on Mondays and Thursdays. She also has privileges at our hospital and can do any procedures or surgeries that are necessary as an outpatient option or for our patients in the hospital.

If you have foot or ankle pain, or other concerns about your lower extremities, contact Dr. Pham’s office at 903-885-2754.
