About Carl T Hinshaw
About the Provider
As a pain medicine doctor, I treat patients who are struggling with complex, painful conditions such as chronic and acute spine disorders, complex regional pain syndrome, and neuropathic pain so that they can manage their symptoms and get back to doing the things they love.
I specialize in many non-surgical techniques to relieve different kinds of pain, including steroid injections for neck, back, and joint pain; numbing medications to temporarily relieve nerve pain (nerve blocks); and disrupting painful nerve activity using heat energy (radiofrequency ablation).
I strive to listen carefully, explain thoroughly, and practice with honesty and compassion. We will work together to determine the best care plan based on what’s causing your pain, the severity of your systems, and goals you are trying to achieve.
