Pain management can help the person suffering with either acute or chronic pain. The clinic will examine every avenue, look at the total person and evaluate a specific lifestyle with respect to the overall health and well-being of the person. Our goal is to reduce or completely alleviate pain and to enable a person to regain an active personal lifestyle, both in the home and in the community. Acute and chronic pain management interventions are available on various levels to meet the individual's needs. Office screenings and treatments are offered for some patients, with outpatient and/or inpatient services when indicated. What can be done? A physician has several treatment options including the use of physical neurological technique or drug intervention. Dr Jadan H. Abbassi, medical director of the pain management clinic, offers various methods, from acupuncture to spinal nerve blocks.
