Less Pain. More Living.

Pain Management

Living with acute and chronic pain affects you both physically and mentally. It's time for that to stop.

Goodbye Pain. Hello Living.

Our pain management physician uses a modern approach to diagnosis and care for patients suffering with acute and chronic pain.

Headaches

How to Prepare

Taking the time to do a few simply tasks before your visit can aid in getting you back to feeling your best much faster. We encourage all patients to make a list of questions and outline their symptoms and bring that list with them to their appointment. It's also beneficial to jot down all the medications you're taking and any surgical procedures you've undergone in the past

What to Expect

During your visit is the time to go over your list of questions and go over your symptoms. Your doctor will perform an exam on the problem area. More tests may be needed to diagnose your condition.

A treatment plan, fully taking into account your input and goals, will be planned out.
