Comprehensive Pain Care
Our Approach
- Pain comes in many shapes and relief is not a one-size-fits-all process… Nor does it have to come from a pill bottle.
- Getting relief requires listening and treating the WHOLE person, recognizing each person’s uniqueness, and partnering with our patients to establish realistic, attainable goals for function and quality of life.
- Rethinking pain: The biopsychosocial approach addresses the peripheral pain source, central nervous system changes, and social/emotional impact of pain to tailor a COMPREHENSIVE approach to address the impact of chronic pain. Our unique approach combines the best evidence from conventional pain management and functional medicine to provide what we believe to be the best treatment options for your pain experience.
- We don’t just push pills. We look for a solution that will help you regain control of your life by looking in, around, and outside the box for pain control therapies available.
- We walk next to you, empower you through information and compassion, and work with various disciplines that have been proven to be effective in improving long-term pain treatment outcomes.
- Functional medicine’s influence seeks to address the root cause of pain and not just suppress symptoms. This translates to needing to address all areas of pain: sleep, stress, diet, physical activity, and the social aspect of pain, in addition to interventional and medication management of the physiologic pain process and nervous system responses.
Treasure Valley Pain Center
Opioid Philosophy
Patients in pain should receive compassionate, safe & effective pain care. Scientific evidence is lacking for the benefits of treating chronic pain with opioids, while there are significant systemic adverse effects of long-term opioid therapy. In an effort to restore function and improve our patient’s quality of life, we consider opioids an acceptable short-term strategy but as part of a multifaceted multimodal approach where other therapies have proven ineffective. Long-term opioids are rarely a solution, and we aim to decrease dependence on opioids through the utilization of all other available therapies.
