Pain Management

COMPREHENSIVE PAIN MANAGEMENT

As Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation specialists, we are in the best position to synthesize and integrate a multidisciplinary conservative treatment plan. Our goal in treating patients with chronic pain is to limit or eliminate the burdens and risks of reliance on opioid analgesics, while focusing on improvements and quality of life utilizing a multimodal based approach.

WE OFTEN UTILIZE A COMBINATION OF:

  • Physical modalities
  • Physical therapy to improve body mechanics and posture
  • Medications (primarily non-opioids)
  • Targeted injection therapies
  • Pain Psychology (biofeedback, pacing strategies, and relaxation techniques)
  • Manipulative therapy
  • Acupuncture
  • Vocational rehabilitation
  • Sleep modification

OUR APPROACH TO PAIN MANAGEMENT

We always embody a comprehensive and holistic approach to treating patients suffering from chronic pain of all types and severities. Of primary importance, is to establish an accurate diagnosis for the most effective treatment, while embracing evidence-based medicine with the goal of maximizing functional potential.

WE PRACTICE APPROPRIATE AND MINIMAL OPIOID PRESCRIBING

Our practice and clinicians are extremely knowledgeable in regards to Washington State, CDC guidelines for prescribing opioids, and standards of care in pain management involving the use of opioid analgesics (narcotic medication) for chronic non-cancer related pain. We strive to help patients and providers navigate the difficult world of day to day pain management in a safe and effective manner.
