Our skilled and experienced pain treatment team includes medical doctors who are board-certified in physiatry, anesthesiology, and a certified psychologist. Our goal is to identify the optimal treatment plan to reduce pain, increase function, and improve quality of life. Many state-of-the-art pain treatment techniques used include coordinating treatments with cognitive-behavioral therapy, self-regulatory treatments (e.g., biofeedback), high-resolution diagnostic imaging, and other modalities.

• Spinal epidural steroid injections
• Intradiscal therapies (i.e. PDD, IDET, intradiscal injections)
• Medication pumps
• Spinal cord stimulator implantation
• Cognitive-behavioral therapy
• Injections: Trigger point, peripheral nerve, and therapeutic Botox
• Self-regulation treatment (e.g., biofeedback, guided imagery)
• Mindfulness-based interventions (e.g., meditation)
• Exercise and therapeutic movement regimes

There is convincing evidence that cognitive-behavioral therapy and biofeedback can significantly reduce chronic pain. Cognitive-behavioral intervention has shown to increase adaptive coping skills, activity levels, and social function, as well as decrease pain, physical limitations, depression, and anxiety.
