Developing and implementing a comprehensive treatment plan
We create individually tailored treatment plans that focus on treating the whole patient, taking into account the bio/psycho/social issues related to pain.

Our approach includes:

  • Educating the patient to better understand the diagnosis.
  • Identifying psychological problems that may interfere with the patient’s response to treatment, such as depression, anxiety, and somatization, making referrals to appropriate healthcare providers.
  • Assisting the family in coping with difficulties that often arise with chronic pain, such as behavioral changes, interfamilial stress, and job issues.
  • Incorporating therapeutic exercise in treatment plans by making referrals to chiropractors and physical therapists.
  • Reducing dependence on narcotics and tranquilizer medications.
  • Consulting with other specialists, including surgeons, radiologists, neurologists and oncologist
