Treatments we use to manage pain

We use the latest scientific evidence to create individualized pain management programs for every patient, and our treatment plans use alternatives to opioids whenever possible. Most of our patients have treatment plans that don’t use any prescription opioids.

We offer a wide variety of treatments and interventions to help manage pain, including medications, physical therapy, behavioral care, and minimally invasive injections or nerve blocks. We’ll work with you to find the best way to manage your pain and get you back to your daily routines and favorite activities. In most cases, you’ll have a care plan that includes multiple types of treatments.

We also provide integrative medicine options. Integrative medicine is a holistic approach to managing pain that uses scientifically proven treatments to stimulate your body’s natural healing abilities.

What you can expect from your first visit

If you are referred for a clinical consultation with the Pain Management Program, the first visit is a comprehensive evaluation. Our patients are often able to schedule their initial encounter as a video visit. You’ll get the same personalized attention and high-quality medical care during a video appointment that you would in-person.

Before you meet with us, it’s helpful to think about your specific functional goals. During your evaluation, our pain specialists will talk with you about your symptoms, perform an exam and discuss your goals. In some cases, we may need additional tests to get a better understanding of your condition.

Once your evaluation is complete, we’ll use that information to create a personalized treatment plan to manage your pain and work toward achieving your goals.
