**Compassionate and Comprehensive Care**
Our Approach to Medication Management
Chronic pain can impact every moment of life. The physicians and staff of the PainCare Center understand this. We listen to our patients very carefully. We want to find the source of the pain and treat it with gentle precision.
Medication can sometimes improve the quality of life for someone suffering from chronic pain, but medication alone may not treat the actual cause of the pain. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent pain from spiraling out of control.
It's also important to address the side effects associated with living with chronic pain. Stress management strategies and physical therapy techniques can be a valuable part of an overall treatment program.
Our minimally invasive procedures require very short recovery times. With some treatments, patients are relieved of pain within just a few minutes. And with physical therapy, patients can often return to their l evel of pre-injury activities.
**Benefits of Minimally Invasive Pain Treatment**
*98% of treatments are performed in our office on an outpatient basis. Patients walk out of the office within minutes after a procedure.
*Recovery times range from a few minutes to a few hours. For even the most complex procedures, patients often return to work in 1 to 3 weeks.
*No general anesthesia is administered. The potential risks of general anesthesia are eliminated.
