Chronic pain, regardless of its origin, can cause changes in personality, life-style and functional ability.
We have found that many patients who are being treated for physical pain can benefit from evaluation and treatment by our staff. In many cases of injury and trauma, natural healing, medication and surgery do not take away all pain symptoms. Research has shown that a patient's recovery can be greatly enhanced by reducing the stress and emotional suffering which accompanies sever pain. Using both interview and questionnaire techniques, we can determine the interaction between your physical pain and common stress reactions.
Pain Management is our specialty.
Each patient is treated individually. After extensive evaluation of physical sources and psychological effects of a patient's pain, Dr. Hamilton offers recommendations and clearly defines benefits and risk of each procedure. The medical team then guides the patient through the treatment that is most appropriate.
Long term pain is more than a physical hardship, it is emotionally draining. The total treatment approach used at Pain Medicine Group offers needed support in all areas.
Procedures for treating pain depend upon the source of the pain. The Pain Medicine Group uses pharmacological, interruptive, invasive, behavioral and rehabilitative methods to control and relieve pain.
