As health care providers in pain management, we recognize the complex nature of pain. Pain is multidimensional and affects the mind, body, and spirit which requires a multi-disciplinary approach to treating all kinds of pain. Our goal is to minimize pain with multiple modalities in order to improve daily function and increase quality of life.
