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 behavior 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 Pain
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.
