Statement of Purpose
We attempt to decrease pain and discomfort (from disease, injury, aging or surgery) so a more active lifestyle can be possible.
Additional Information
We start with a complete evaluation of where a particular patient is in the evolution of chronic pain illness. We then formulate a plan that presents the options from least risky (in terms of side effects and complications) to more advanced techniques and those with more side effects and possible complications.
Therapies often begin with medications that modify pain as it travels along nerve paths in the body. The next step is usually an injection targeted to a location to calm it so that pain is lessened.
If those therapies don’t relieve the pain, then minimally invasive surgical methods are offered. Other options include nerve stimulators which change the pain signal in the spinal cord region before it can reach the brain.
Each type of treatment choice may take 2-3 weeks to determine if it has relieved the pain adequately. If these therapies don’t provide enough relief, the practice can offer pain medication, other therapies and provide follow-up care to reach mutual goals.
