Medication management. When appropriate, we determine the best dosage and type of pain medicine for your individual condition, specializing in safely managing medication for high-risk patients and those with complex conditions.

Botox treatment. If pain is intense enough that it’s blocking your ability to move forward with pain management education and therapy, our specialists can perform shorter-term treatments such as Botox injections that reduce pain in muscles and surrounding nerves, joints and other structures.

Multidisciplinary treatment. We help initiate and coordinate multidisciplinary treatment with specialists such as psychologists, chiropractors, massage therapists, physical therapists and acupuncturists.

Bracing and other adaptive equipment. For some patients, adaptive equipment like splints, walking sticks, walkers and wheelchairs can rest muscles involved in chronic pain, helping to disrupt the pain cycle, while also expanding opportunities to participate in activities. Our medical pain management specialists can evaluate whether adaptive equipment is right for you and prescribe devices that will help you achieve the best outcomes.
