Restorative Pain Medicine Physicians

Are you one of the many individuals wondering, “Why is my doctor sending me to pain management?” If so, you’re not alone. Chronic pain affects millions of Americans, and for many, traditional medical treatments may not provide the relief they desperately seek. 

When your doctor refers you to a pain management clinic, it means that you need a specialist to help you address your specific pain problems. For example, your primary care physician might refer you to a pain management specialist if:

• Pain interrupts your daily functioning
• Pain makes it hard to eat, sleep, or bathe
• Pain affects your mood and judgment
• Pain causes you mental distress
• Pain exacerbates other medical conditions (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate, etc.)
• Pain prevents injury and wound healing

Restorative Pain Physicians operates as an extension of your primary care team. We maintain open lines of communication with your referring physician to ensure a seamless and coordinated approach to your care. This collaboration ensures that your pain management plan aligns with your overall health goals and any other medical treatments you may be undergoing.

Additionally, many insurance plans require your doctor to refer you to a pain management specialist to cover additional treatment. 

Restorative Pain Medicine employs a multidisciplinary approach to pain management, combining various therapeutic modalities to address different aspects of pain. This might include physical therapy, medication management, interventional procedures, and psychological support. Interventional procedures involve the use of minimally invasive techniques to target and treat the source of pain directly. Whether it’s nerve blocks, epidural injections, or radiofrequency ablation. Pain management specialists will usually attempt non-invasive, non-surgical pain management techniques before performing an invasive surgical procedure.

By integrating these approaches, Restorative Pain Medicine Physicians aims to provide comprehensive care that goes beyond merely alleviating symptoms, focusing on improving overall function and quality of life. We believe that informed patients are empowered patients. That’s why we prioritize patient education as a cornerstone of our approach. Understanding the nature of your pain, the available treatment options, and the importance of self-care empowers you to actively participate in your pain management journey. Our team takes the time to explain each aspect of your treatment plan, ensuring you have the knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about your health. At Restorative Pain Medicine Physicians, our mission is not just to relieve pain but to empower you on your journey to lasting relief.
