Bradley says the clinic will also work with pain management, including face pain and entrapment syndromes, which occur when a nerve is entrapped in the arms or in the hands. Brain stimulation will also be used to manage pain by placing electrodes under the skin or in the spinal canal to stimulate the nerves and prevent pain pathways.The new clinic is a historical event for the Twin Lakes Area.
