Chronic Pain Management
Research shows
single treatment modalities are usually ineffective in helping the
chronic pain sufferer. Our program is a combination non-narcotic
approach and is delivered in four phases:
Phase1- Weeks 1- 2: Pain Cycle and Insomnia Breakage
Using pain control modalities such as Acupuncture, Laser, Ultrasound,
Infrared sauna for pain control and detoxification as well as CES device
for regulating sleep.
Phase 2- Weeks 3- 5: Inflammation Reduction and Pain
Trigger Elimination
Naturopathic intervention will be added to modalities in this stage as
well as education on a proper anti-inflammatory diet to eliminate pain
triggers. Joint mobilization, soft tissue treatments and exercise will
also be added in this phase.
Phase 3- Week 6- 8: Maintenance and Promoting Wellness
Passive components of treatment are gradually reduced as active
participation of patient is encouraged. Specific and general exercises
along with aerobic conditioning are of emphasis in this phase. Education
on how to prevent future flare ups and proper pain management techniques
is added.
Phase 4- Week 9-12, Healthy lifestyle
Participating in group exercise programs, three sessions per week,
followed by a self-directed exercise program
