That being said, cancer pain can be managed with medicine and other treatments.

Causes of Cancer Pain

Major causes of cancer-related pain include:

  • Pain from a tumor. A tumor can cause pain if it presses into the nearby tissue, nerves, bones or organs.
  • Spinal cord compression. When a tumor spreads to the spine, it can press on the spinal cord. This can cause back or neck pain.
  • Pain from treatment. Some people have pain from chemotherapy, radiation treatment and other cancer treatments.

Our Reviews

I Love the way they all listen to you no matter what it's about. I Love how they make sure your feeling fine & how they find other ways to help you. They are a wonderful team & I am so glad I found them.

Rubin Bungard

Dr Rao is MY Absolute Favorite Doctor! Love him! His staff at Mt Airy and in Frederick, Maryland are the best of the best. Caring, kind and very friendly. I would recommend anyone to seek out Dr Rao and his staff in a heartbeat.

Randee Fischer

I LOVE this place. Dr B. and Dr Rao saved my life. In 2014, I could only walk about 15ft and had to use a wheelchair. It happened so quickly to me. I had extreme pain in my back, and legs. My other pain management wouldn't help at all.
