Welcome to United Pain Management & Injury Specialists

 

 

United Pain and Injury Specialists is a advanced pain practice who methods of integrating structural and functional analysis of the patient's body as part of the pain treatment plan. Most of the time, the patient has a history of previous trauma or an acute pain condition which has gone unnoticed. Our practice and our pain relief methods truly recognize us as one of the nations leading pain physicians and known as "injury specialists". We feel it is important to pay attention to every detail to differentiate between how each pain symptom manifests itself and affects the patient. These criteria include psychological and social factors. As the diagnosis of both chronic and acute pain has become technologically complex, our specialists had implemented sophisticated diagnostic testing (e.g. the MRI scanner) to identify both causes of pain, referred pain and directs our course of treatment so that we can relieve pain symptoms. In some cases, less emphasis is been placed on patient history and physical examination.

If a diagnostic test reveals no abnormality, the physician often can find no cause nor offer any solution for a patient's pain. Our approach (integrates patient assessment, diagnosis, injection therapy and medical pain management with manual physical therapy, rehabilitation and surgery) integrates injury anatomy, injury physiology, and injury structural and functional changes, and their effects on pain.

 

COMMON TYPES OF PAIN

Knee Pain| Shoulder Pain | Back Pain | Hip Pain

In our practice that specializes in treating pain issues, our physicians and physical therapists work side by side in the comprehensive care of the patient.   Specific therapy such as pain injections and epidural steroid injections or trigger point injections, for example, are integrated with specific manual (hands on) physical therapy techniques such as: myofascial release, mobilization of the spine, muscle energy, neurotension techniques.

When treatment begins, patients may be video-taped on a posture grid to visualize the underlying structural lesion which causes their pain. This helps the patient understand the back alignment changes necessary to alleviate his or her pain. This patient education is essential to encourage the patient to comply with their home program. In addition, the physical therapy is all manual or literally "hands-on" as opposed to modalities such as ultrasound. Patient education on various pain types is essential as he/she must understand and participate in their care.

Injury Specialists accepts Medicare, and participates in most insurance including HMO's and PPO's. We accept liability, workers compensation, and personal injury patients.

It is our belief that physicians specializing in pain should be responsible for improving the quality of care and educating the community. Unfortunately, we don't know everything about the human body or the nervous system; but progressive, innovative therapies are now helping people previously thought to be untreatable.
