Chronic pain is multi-faceted, thus its very nature is the reason that single modal treatments are rarely effective. We personalize combinations of treatments which could include Acupuncture, Osteopathic, Nutritional protocols, Ayurvedic and Eastern Medicine; for each patent’s particular pain problem. We have developed a combination proven to break the pain and sleeplessness cycle.
A total body systems assessment will include the following basic questions:
-
Where do you feel pain?
-
When did it begin?
-
What does it feel like?
-
How long does it last?
-
Have you had it before?
-
Is it constant or intermittent?
-
What makes your pain worse?
-
What helped / did not help?
-
Does it prevent you from doing your daily activities?
Success in treating patients with chronic pain involves a multidisciplinary and multidimensional approach to achieve recovery, optimum health and the added feeling of wellness.
