Palliative Care · Pain & Symptom Management
Relief is possible, even when cure is not the goal.
Pain, breathlessness, nausea, fatigue, and anxiety are treatable. Our palliative physicians specialize in finding the right combination of therapies to restore comfort, dignity, and function.
Symptoms we treat
- Pain — from cancer, neuropathy, arthritis, or unknown causes.
- Shortness of breath and air hunger from heart or lung disease.
- Nausea, vomiting, and appetite loss from illness or treatment.
- Fatigue, weakness, and sleep disturbance.
- Anxiety, depression, and existential distress.
- Constipation, delirium, and other burdens of serious illness.
How we approach relief
- Careful medication adjustments — start low, go slow, reassess often.
- Non-pharmacologic strategies including positioning, breathing techniques, and environmental changes.
- Frequent follow-up visits to titrate therapy before suffering escalates.
- Close coordination with oncology, cardiology, and other treating physicians.
