Newey joins Samaritan pain management department

MOSES LAKE — A new doctor has been hired for the pain management department at Samaritan Healthcare. Carter Newey joined the department in August.

Newey is a specialist in physical medicine and pain rehabilitation, also known as physiatry, Samaritan officials wrote in a press release.

“Depending on patients’ needs, (pain) management may include nerve and muscle testing (electrodiagnostics), musculoskeletal ultrasound, injections (joint, botulinum toxin or trigger point), manual therapy, outpatient rehabilitation (physical, occupational or speech therapy) medications, and more,” the press release said.

Newey received his doctor of osteopathic medicine degree from the University of North Texas Health Science Center — Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort Worth. He has a bachelor’s degree in exercise science from Brigham Young University.

“I’m here to partner with my patients toward reaching their goals,” Newey wrote. “By building quality patient relationships over time, I can provide better continuity of care and walk with them on their journey to better function and health.”
