San Francisco · Pain Management
Pain management in San Francisco.
Physician-led interventional pain care for chronic and musculoskeletal pain — image-guided, opioid-sparing and focused on the true source of pain.
Define the source of pain — then treat it precisely.
Our approach defines the true source of pain and applies precise, image-guided interventional techniques to restore function while minimizing reliance on opioid medication. Care is led by Dr. Andrew Vargas, MD — double board-certified in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, UCSF residency- and fellowship-trained in chronic pain management, and a Clinical Instructor at UCSF.
Because every patient’s experience of pain is unique, care is tailored and multimodal: targeted treatment alongside active rehabilitation that maintains strength and flexibility, aimed at getting you back to activity.
