The art of knowing how, and when, to intervene.

After the Cunsultive and Diagnostic processes have lead to an accurate diagnosis, the next step is to formulate the right approach. Many chronic pain patients arrive at our practice in a state of clinical depression. Not at all uncommon for people who have not slept for months due to pain. On the contrary, a cancer patient with a 6-month prognosis may not want to spend the balance of what time they have left in a narcotic induced sleep.

Determining the correct approach to intervention and treatment is a "critical core competency" of the practice. Whether a patient's condition is best treated with therapy, trigger point injections, implanted pumps that inject timed dosing into the spine, traditional drugs, percutaneous (killing sympathetic nerves) procedures, or a combination of the above, we can find a way to balance your treatment with your goals, and your life's day-to-day activities!
