Philosophy/Approach

Our philosophy is to treat the cause of pain and not teach people to "live with pain". Your pain is real. Our decades of research and experience indicate that chronic pain has a physical cause; often with unavoidable behavioral consequences. Although our ultimate goal is pain elimination, this may not be accomplished during a typical course of treatment. Complete pain relief may lag behind the physical restoration.

Our major focus is pain relief associated with back problems because of the high incidence of low back pain. However, we also successfully treat many other types of pain problems. Please refer to the services offered at our Center.

Patients in the comprehensive programs receive a multidisciplinary evaluation and team conference to:

  • Establish the diagnosis.
  • Identify problems.
  • Develop an individualized plan of care to address:
    • Medical
    • Behavioral (anxiety, depression, ...etc.)
    • Interpersonal/Social
    • Vocational/Avocational/Activities of Daily Living
  • A timely written evaluation report is sent following the team conference.
