Pioneering Advancements in Pain Management

• • Consultation: As mentioned above, our specialists need to learn about your medical history. We’ll have a thorough conversation about your condition, covering everything from your symptoms and pain levels to your medical history and past treatments.
  • Physical examination: Depending on your condition, our specialists may also perform a light physical examination. This can include pressing on pain areas, testing your range of motion and observing how you walk.
  • Test and imaging: Your previous test results and imaging scans can help our specialists better understand your pain.

  If you haven’t done any testing, or if your current results are outdated, we may order new tests.

So, how do we develop our plans? We’ll start by diagnosing the root cause of your pain, whether it’s nerve-related, inflammatory, musculoskeletal or something else. Then, we’ll select and tailor treatments designed to address that root cause. Most plans use a combination of different treatments, which we’ll adjust as your needs evolve.

• • Follow-up appointments: We’ll schedule any necessary medical treatments, such as injection appointments, cryoneurolysis and physical therapy sessions.
  • At-home care: We often recommend performing at-home exercises and adjusting lifestyle habits.
  • Progress tracking: As you work through your treatment plan, we’ll carefully monitor your progress. To accurately do this, we may ask you to keep detailed records of your pain. This lets us know whether we need to make any changes to your plan.

  Throughout your sessions, we make your comfort a top priority. This includes creating a calm, welcoming environment, providing dedicated, one-on-one attention and using gentle, minimally invasive procedures. Ultimately, we’re here to reduce your pain — not add to it.
