Learn MoreThrough a proper diagnostic evaluation and multi-modality treatment planning, help for chronic pain patients can be obtained. Our program uses a multidisciplinary approach to help patients reduce and learn to cope with their pain. The pain program consists of physicians, nurses, medical assistants and ancillary staff who are trained pain management professionals and deal with acute and chronic pain routinely. Following a comprehensive evaluation, this team develops a treatment plan and sets personal goals that address each individual’s pain problem. Once this is complete, a member of the treatment team meets with the patient to review the treatment plan and start the road to recovery. (The physician performs non-invasive and/or interventional treatment techniques as needed.)
