Pain management is a branch of medicine that applies science to the reduction of pain. It covers a wide spectrum of conditions including neuropathic pain, sciatica, postoperative pain and more. Pain management is a rapidly growing medical specialty that takes a multi-disciplinary approach to treating all kinds of pain. While some types of pain come from primary sources such as headaches, and others from secondary sources such as from surgery, the field of pain management treats all of it as a disease. This allows for the application of science, and the latest advances in medicine to relieve your pain. And while many patients, especially those in chronic pain, see a psychiatrist or therapist as part of the experience, learning to cope with pain is less and less the focus of treatment.

Our goal is to minimize pain, improve function and increase quality of life.

As a first-time patient at Advanced Pain Center, you might experience the following:

·         Evaluation.

·         Diagnostic tests, if necessary, as determined in the evaluation.

·         Referral to surgeon, if indicated by the tests and evaluation.

·         Interventional treatment, such as injections or spinal cord stimulation.

·         Alternative medicine to provide a complement to your other treatments.

Our Physician may refer you to:

·         Physical therapy to increase range-of-motion and strength, and to prepare you to go back to work.

·         Psychiatry to deal with depression, anxiety and/or other issues that may accompany your chronic pain.
