Specializing in pain management, Dr. Richard K. Hurley has been caring for and providing relief through minimally invasive procedures for Central Texas patients struggling with pain for over thirty years. Dr. Hurley re-certified his board certification of pain management, which is awarded by the American Board of Anesthesiology.

Board certification gives doctors access to resources to stay up-to-date within their specialties and maintain their competency in the field. Since medicine is an evolving field, the learning does not stop once a physician is board certified. Board certified physicians follow a rigorous schedule to maintain their certification, including continuing education.

Pain medicine is the medical discipline concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of the entire range of painful disorders. An in-depth knowledge of the physiology of pain, the ability to evaluate patients with complicated pain problems, understanding of specialized tests for diagnosing painful conditions, appropriate prescribing of medications to varying pain problems, and skills to perform procedures (such as nerve blocks, spinal injections and other interventional techniques) are all part of what a pain management specialist uses to treat pain.

Dr. Hurley is accepting new patients at his clinic locations in Gatesville and Clifton, Texas. To find out more about options for pain relief, please contact Coryell Health Medical Clinic at (254) 865-2166.
