Chronic Pain Conditions We Help Treat and Manage
An Interventional Pain Management Approach to Treating Chronic Pain
Our practice model treats chronic pain's physical and emotional components to restore and maintain function and improve quality of life. We use the latest imaging technology to establish a precise diagnosis, treat pain at its source, and provide extensive rehabilitation plans to ensure the best possible opportunity for long-term improvement.
Rather than relying on medications, interventional pain management treatments include techniques to block the pain at its source. In addition to traditional procedure-based treatments, such as steroid injections, our pain management approach also includes a wide range of modern, effective, and minimally invasive pain management therapies provided on an outpatient basis. Your dedicated care team of pain specialists will tailor your treatment approach based on your specific pain conditions and symptoms.
Physical Therapy for Chronic Pain
Our physical therapist is an expert in chronic pain and uses a variety of exercises and techniques to help treat the areas of your body that experience pain or need rehabilitation. In addition to long-term pain relief, physical therapy can help regain mobility, strength, and flexibility while minimizing the need for pain management medications.
Psychological Therapy for Chronic Pain
Our licensed psychologist specializes in cognitive and behavioral pain management approaches, helping you break the chronic pain cycle. Pain psychology treatments are individualized and flexible, combining holistic techniques and therapies. In addition to long-term pain relief, psychological therapy can also help strengthen your body, mind, and spirit.
