Dr. Keith Kirby is an anesthesiologist in Savannah, Georgia and is affiliated with Memorial University Medical Center and St. Joseph’s-Candler. He is one of 16 doctors at Memorial University Medical Center and one of 5 at St. Joseph’s-Candler who specialize in Anesthesiology.

He’s a leading expert in Radiofrequency Neurolysis, a technique that relieves chronic pain by applying a high frequency of energy to damaged or injured nerves. This treatment is highly effective for relieving chronic back pain, neck pain, facial pain and pelvic pain due to interstitial cystitis or pain following inguinal hernia repair or a vasectomy.

The health issue he’s most concerned about is chronic pain. According to the Institute of Medicine, 100 million American adults suffer from chronic pain. That figure exceeds the total of those affected by heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Inadequate treatment of pain leads to unnecessary suffering by patients and their families.

Whatever you do, don’t suffer needlessly from chronic pain because there are many effective treatments available. If you suffer from chronic pain, ask your doctor if he or she can refer you to a physician who specializes in treatment of chronic pain.

Dr. Keith Kirby is involved in a national research study of a new pain medica- tion for patients who suffer from low back pain and have constipation due to their current pain medicine. Anyone interested in participating in the study can call 912.351.4571.
