We offer complete coordination of patient care, including medication management, physical therapy and behavioral management. In addition to our pain specialists, our center provides access to a clinical psychologist who focuses on chronic pain assessment, chronic opioid therapy screening and cognitive behavioral therapies.

Many chronic pain conditions may require medication consultations. We provide this consultation service to the patient's primary provider, working collaboratively to optimize care. Our goal is to assume comprehensive patient management during the early treatment of patients with chronic pain, and coordinate long-term care with each patient's primary care provider.
