How We Treat Physical Pain

During your first session or intake, we will ask you many questions about your physical pain. We may also ask that you meet with one of our psychiatrists and complete some written assessments. We will then integrate this information to determine an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Accordingly, we can provide the following 16 week pain treatment protocol:
  • Psychological assessments (1 session) to clarify your coping strengths and weakness and identify any treatment barriers. This will take place during your first 1-2 sessions and require an extra 1-2 hrs of your time.
  • Medication management (8 sessions) if needed to reduce intense symptoms. This will require that you meet with our psychiatrist bi-weekly.
  • Individual psychotherapy (weekly or 16 sessions) to reduce emotional symptoms and strengthen your coping mechanisms.
  • Biofeedback (weekly or 16 sessions) to alter your physiological responses to stress and pain.

This protocol is flexible and can be customized based on each patient’s needs and schedule. Also, if you do not already have a chiropractor or pain physician, click here for a list of people we trust.
