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.
