Arthritis
We have arthritis treatment options at our Tijuana, Mexico location. There are over 100 different types of arthritis, but all relate to the informal way to refer to joint pain or joint disease.
Arthritis can cause permanent joint changes.
Joint Pain
Joint pain or joint disease can cause permanent joint changes. These changes may be visible, such as knobby finger joints, but often the damage can only be seen on X-ray.
Some types of arthritis also affect the heart, eyes, lungs, kidneys and skin as well as the joints.
Herniated Disk
A Herniated disk occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the outer casing of the spine. We’ll help you begin the recovery process and relieve disc pain.
We create targeted treatment plans that will get you back to doing the activities you love.
Sciatica
The sciatica condition is an irritation or compression of one or more nerve roots in the lumbar spine.
Because these nerves travel to the hips, buttocks, legs and feet, an injury in the lumbar spine can cause symptoms in these areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pain management is a comprehensive approach to diagnosing, treating and controlling pain. It uses a multi-pronged and individualized treatment plan to coordinate safe and effective options that can address the physical, emotional, social, and psychological aspects of pain. In a balanced approach to pain management, people with pain, along with their family members and caregivers, learn to manage the pain in safe, effective, responsible and healthy ways to improve or maintain their overall well-being.
Components of a balanced pain management plan may include:
- minimally-invasive injection-based therapy
- physical therapy and rehabilitation
- psychological counseling
- social support
- medication
- other complementary approaches
When medications are necessary, there must be full recognition of potential side effects and appropriate management of the medications.
A pain management doctor is a board-certified, fellowship-trained physician who is able to diagnose and treat acute and chronic pain conditions using a comprehensive, balanced approach.
At Pain Doctor Tijuana, we build comprehensive, individualized care plans for each of our patients. These plans employ a variety of pain management strategies focused on the whole person — not just the pain.
Dr. Cesar Amescua is board certified in pain management and anesthesiology. Our staff of nurse practitioners, nurses, and medical assistants are also highly educated and specialized in pain management.
Like other physicians, pain management specialists earn a college degree and then complete four years of medical school. They then spend four more years completing a residency in anesthesiology.
Pain management doctors continue their education to specialize in pain medicine by receiving an additional year of fellowship training to become a “subspecialist”, or an expert in treating pain.
Some go on to do research in addition to their clinical practice, and all of our physicians have special certification in pain medicine.
People develop pain for many reasons. Pain from a recent surgery, injury or medical illness is called acute pain. In many cases, this pain can be managed immediately and will usually get better in just a short time. For more serious pain, however, your primary care doctor may ask a pain management doctor to help manage your pain while you are healing.
Back or neck pain that persists beyond six weeks may require further evaluation to accurately and quickly diagnose the cause and implement an effective treatment plan. In general, earlier evaluation with pain typically leads to greater diagnostic accuracy and faster relief.
If your pain persists after the healing process should be over, you might have what is called chronic pain. If the current treatment you are receiving stops working or your pain begins to get worse over time, your primary care doctor may suggest that you see a pain management doctor.
Cancer pain is another condition that can be managed by a pain medicine doctor while the patient continues to receive cancer treatment. The pain can be due to cancer surgery or treatment procedures, including radiation therapy and chemotherapy, or the tumor itself.

I know how horrible chronic back pain can be. After a car accident, I had debilitating pain for seven years. I have been living in San Diego for the past five years. It’s here where I found Dr. Cesar Amescua who finally really listened to my symptoms and understood my problem. Other doctors had mentioned surgery, but my doctor didn’t think that I would improve with surgery. Instead he offered me a less invasive treatment, his work was seriously life changing! I haven’t felt so normal since before my back issues began.
I have had chronic myofascial pain and neuropathic pain for six years. I took anti-seizure drugs to help with the pain in the nerves and had weekly trigger point injections for years. I am very happy that I met Dr. Cesar Amescua, nothing has worked as well as Lyrica. Now, instead of 2,800 mg of Neurontin, I take 225 mg of Lyrica. I have dropped the Celebrex and take Tylenol 3s rarely! Lyrica has changed my life, and after six years, I am finally ready to get back to work and living!
I was suffering from chronic pain. I took many treatments and medicines, but no improvement was seen. Then somebody suggested to me to go to the pain management center at Hospital Angeles Tijuana, for the chronic pain treatment. Professional and experienced doctors treated me in a calm way. I did not have to wait any more for the consultation with the doctor. The staff was very cooperative, experienced, and helpful. Now there is no pain.
