On a seemingly ordinary day, Ray’s life changed forever.
Twenty years ago, Ray was pulled over on the side of the road when his car was struck by a tractor-trailer that was traveling at 65 miles per hour. After the accident, he battled excruciating pain that made even simple activities almost unbearable.
Today, Ray cooks, works in his yard, and builds high-end fences in his workshop. His is one of several pain relief patient testimonials that you can read to see how the Heilman Center’s pain specialists have helped people just like you take control of chronic pain.
Following his devastating accident, Ray spent years of his life battling agonizing and unrelenting pain. He underwent multiple back surgeries and tried several different clinics and physicians, with no lasting relief for the pain.
“At one point, I even lost the use of my hands and legs,” Ray recalls. “I couldn’t even get myself a glass of water. I was just stuck there on the couch. Needless to say, it was a very difficult time for my family and me.”
Like many of the patients at Heilman Center’s pain treatment centers, Ray’s life revolved around pain. “What was most frustrating was the endless list of efforts and diagnoses to control my pain. No one was able to help.”
Ray had tried seven different pain clinics. Despite two decades of false starts and disappointment, Ray decided to try the Heilman Center. Here he found a different approach to care — and the effective treatment he hadn’t gotten anywhere else.
No More Endless Waiting
At other pain clinics, Ray had felt as though his case was unimportant. In his prior experience with pain treatment centers, he would often have to wait six weeks until he could see a doctor, and then he would have to wait another six weeks to begin treatment.
At the Heilman Center, Ray got a consultation quickly and was able to start treatment within one week. “I don’t want to say that all the other doctors I saw didn’t care about my individual situation,” he explained. “But they just didn’t care the about getting me pain relief as urgently as this medical team did.”
Our staff involved Ray in all the decisions about his treatment, even the small things like where he would prefer to have an IV placed. Instead of feeling like just one more anonymous patient, Ray left appointments with his pain specialist feeling that, for once, his case truly mattered.
A New Chance at Life
Ray readily admits that he doesn’t know if he’ll ever be 100 percent free of pain. But finally, thanks to the treatment he received at the Heilman Center, his pain is under control.

An accident like Ray’s could happen to anyone. Take a look at these statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control:
- Americans spend more than a combined million days in hospitals every year as the result of crash injuries.
