Treatment Methods
Our unique approach can include one or more of the following treatment methods:
- Medical and/or Surgical Therapy, such as nerve blocks, trigger injections at the pain site, botox injections to relax muscles and reduce pain, medical management, or surgery
- Physical Rehabilitation to strengthen muscles and increase muscle function, including aquatherapy, ultrasound and electrical stimulations
- Behavioral Therapy, such as psychological evaluations, group therapy and biofeedback to help patients and their families deal with stress of living with chronic pain
- Complementary Medicine, such as acupuncture, massage therapy, nutrition counseling and aromatherapy
A physician referral is required before any treatment program can begin.
