At APICO Pain Management™, Dr. Rany Abdallah provides Intrathecal Pump Implantation for patients with severe, chronic pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments. This advanced therapy involves implanting a small pump under the skin that delivers medication directly into the spinal fluid, offering powerful pain relief with much smaller doses than oral medications.

It is especially effective for cancer pain and persistent pain from conditions like failed back surgery syndrome. Dr. Abdallah uses image-guided techniques for precise placement and tailors the medication to each patient’s needs. Intrathecal pumps offer long-term relief, improved function, and reduced reliance on systemic opioids.
