every area of your life. It’s tough to work, enjoy time with family, and pursue your favorite activities when you’re in constant pain. Even though they have the best of intentions, your loved ones don’t always understand what you’re going through.

Instead of staying with treatments that aren’t getting results, schedule a consultation with the Heilman Center. Our clinic focuses exclusively on pain treatment and management, and we never give up on finding the right pain treatment options for you. You’re in control of every aspect of your treatment for chronic pain, and you have a wide range of treatment alternatives.

The Puzzle of Chronic Pain

Chronic pain can start as a result of injury, surgery, illness or unexplained. However, the pain sometimes continues long after the injury is treated, and it becomes worse instead of better. In some cases, people have no idea what is causing their pain. The pain limits their movements, occupies their thoughts, and makes them feel frustrated and depressed.

Chronic pain feels different to everyone. For some, it’s an intense aching or burning. For other’s it’s a stabbing, on-and-off pain that comes back every few hours. Some patients, as they’re struggling with pain, also experience fatigue, changes in appetite, and difficulty sleeping. The pain affects their mood and begins to cause problems, both at work and in personal relationships.

Some patients benefit from traditional pain treatment options including medication, physical therapy, injections, and surgery. Others find that alternative treatments, like acupuncture or massage, provide great relief. That’s why the best chronic pain treatment plan is tailored to the individual patient. It’s administered by doctors who listen carefully to patients and the people who take care of them throughout the treatment process.

Treatment for Chronic Pain: What We Offer

For decades, doctors simply handed out prescriptions for pain medication. They thought that if they masked pain long enough for the injury to heal, the pain would go away. Unfortunately, for some patients, pain continues for months and even years after the injury has healed. If this sounds like you, our doctors will design treatment for chronic pain based on answers to these questions:

  • What’s causing your pain?
  • Is your pain medication working with you or against you?
  • Can the underlying cause be treated?
  • Can the pain be blocked at its source?
  • Can the body’s pain signal be prevented from reaching the brain?

After exploring these questions, we’ll put together an innovative, full-service program that brings together every available chronic pain treatment option for your pain. Instead of sending you to multiple clinics, we bring together all of your options under one roof. Doctors and treatment providers from different specialties work together to provide the best possible care.
