Our Philosophy

Pain is a complex experience that can have a profound impact on a person’s life. It is the most common symptom that brings a patient to a physician’s office. Pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including tissue injury, disease, and emotional distress.

Pain can be defined as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, with affective and cognitive responses.” This means that pain is not just a physical sensation, but also an emotional and psychological experience. Pain can affect a person’s mood, sleep, appetite, and ability to function in daily life.

Pain can be a debilitating condition. It can interfere with a person’s ability to work, care for themselves, and enjoy life. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for pain, but there are a variety of options available, including medication, physical therapy, and alternative therapies.

If you are struggling with pain, please seek help from a healthcare professional. There is no shame in seeking help for pain, and there are many effective treatments available. With the right treatment, you can manage your pain and improve your quality of life.

We understand that chronic pain can be a debilitating condition. It can interfere with a patient’s ability to work, care for themselves, and enjoy life. We are here to help our patients manage their pain and improve their quality of life.

We use the term “opioid” instead of “narcotics” to reduce the stigma associated with chronic pain. We believe that this change in terminology can help to create a more understanding and compassionate environment for our patients.

Program Goals

The CPRC Pain Management Program is designed to meet the needs of individuals in chronic pain. We endeavor to achieve the best results for patients through a comprehensive treatment program, which enhances the recovery process. To accomplish these results, we have established the following primary goals of our treatment program:

Program Modalities

Multidisciplinary treatment modalities to be provided will include the following:

Medication Evaluation and Management

Our program incorporates physician recommended medications to reduce pain levels and enable patients to actively participate in exercising to improve their daily functioning. Medications will also help establish adequate sleep patterns, to reduce depression, and to decrease anxiety, which are often barriers to successful rehabilitation. Our goal is to help patients titrate medication, substitute non-Opioid coping strategies and whenever possible become Opioid free. Our on site Physiatrist (physician specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) will provide consultation to the treating physician as requested to help the patient become less dependent on Opioid medication.

Massage Therapy and Myofascial Release

This modality provides the reduction of muscle spasms/muscle tension, oxygenates muscles to promote healing, and reduces pain to sensitive trigger point areas.

Exercise

This modality helps patients to improve their strength, flexibility, active range of motion, and endurance through stretching, cardio-vascular, and weight lifting activities. Exercise also increases the natural endorphins (painkillers) and neurotransmitters (antidepressants) in the brain.

Aquatic Therapy

This modality provides low impact physical conditioning to assist in muscle strengthening and increased flexibility.

Individual Psychotherapy

This modality will help the patient to accept and manage their pain; deal with the trauma associated with a catastrophic injury, complete the grieving process related to their physical loss and develop realistic expectations concerning their intractable pain. Individual therapy will assist the patient in expressing him/herself directly to avoid channeling his/her feelings into somatic complaints. Individual treatment will also provide the patient with feedback regarding their performance as well as providing an opportunity to refine their individualized treatment goals.

Pain Management Group Treatment

Group psychotherapy will assist the patient in learning new ways to manage their pain from other individuals who suffer from a similar disability in a safe, open atmosphere. Examples of relevant group topics include setting realistic limits to avoid re-injury, the importance of returning to work as a method of distracting the mind from continuous pain, assertiveness training, anger management, stress management, and cognitive restructuring techniques for reducing pain exacerbating negative thinking.

Vocational Testing/Counseling

Individuals are provided with state of the art vocational testing and consultation. This counseling helps the patient to explore new employment options while taking their physical limitations into account. Patients will explore educational and employment opportunities and will be offered direction in obtaining the skills necessary to achieve the goal of returning to gainful employment.

Interdisciplinary Case Conference

The chronic pain management team will meet weekly to coordinate care and to develop weekly treatment goals for each patient. Patients are provided with information and feedback concerning their performance as well as giving them an opportunity to have input into their treatment plan and to provide feedback to help us to serve them better.

Biofeedback and Hypnotherapy

These modalities provide the patient with training on how to relax and to reduce their muscle tension despite their intractable pain. This treatment will enhance their sleep as well as reduce their perception of pain. We have state of the art biofeedback equipment as well as treatment staff with expertise in biofeedback and hypnotherapy.

Treatment Methods

At CPRC each patient undergoes an initial assessment by professionals who specialize in pain control including a physical therapist, a clinical psychologist and a physician. A pain management plan is then individually tailored and a multidisciplinary treatment program is developed for each patient. The treatment program may include the following professional services and modalities:
