Multidisciplinary Pain Medicine
|
| | From its inception in 1995, Arizona Pain Specialists has grown into one of the largest multi-disciplinary pain centers in the state of Arizona. The expansion of the clinic has been designed to emulate “University-level” pain treatment centers.
The multi-disciplinary approach for treatment of chronic pain has been supported by clinical experience, the medical literature and numerous pain societies as the most effective approach to these complicated medical conditions. Recently, the American Pain Society endorsed the multi-disciplinary approach to treatment of pain.
Interventional procedures are performed to the highest of medical standards, including use of fluoroscopy for all spine injections, to ensure patient comfort, reduce the possibility of complications and achieve the best possible results. Intravenous sedation is commonly employed during interventional procedures to provide the utmost in patient comfort.
Additionally, Arizona Pain Specialists provides all aspects of a non-interventional approach to chronic pain. Located within Arizona Pain Specialists is Valley MRI & Radiology and other non-interventional specialists.
Valley MRI & Radiology provides on-site immediate MRI and x-ray imaging for our patients. This greatly expedites patient treatment and provides the attending physician with almost immediate radiologic images. This is a reflection of our philosophy that proper medical treatment is an extension of an accurate diagnosis.
Other medical services available at the clinic include a psychologist to evaluate and treat psychological issues surrounding chronic pain which may include anxiety, depression and anger. We also have a naturopathic physician who incorporates both conventional allopathic medicine with other forms of treatment, including nutritional advice and acupuncture. Finally, we are fortunate to have recently added chiropractic services, including non-invasive spinal decompression.
This complete approach to pain assures our patients the most accurate diagnosis, a team-oriented approach and the widest spectrum of treatment options available in the community.
