Chronic pain affects approximately 86 million adults in America to varying degrees. It can affect your physically and psychologically leading to depression and perception of poor health.
At North Peoria internal Medicine, we reduce or eliminate your pain allowing you to live and work as you desire. We take a multi-disciplinary approach to treating acute and chronic pain. We incorporate non-invasive diagnostic testing to confirm and accurately diagnose the source of pain, in the comfort of our office. This involves nerve conduction studies and ultrasound to evaluate nerves and soft tissues as well as ligaments and bones without radiation exposure.
TREATMENT OF CHRONIC PAIN
Once the source of the chronic pain is diagnosed we treat the cause of pain, not just pain medication. By using advanced imaging to ensure the accuracy of injections and needle placement in the joint, muscle and bursa. This is complemented with on-site massage and physical therapy by our qualified therapists ensures quick return to recovery. We also utilize the services of our psychologist and dietitian to take care of the global effects caused by and causing pain, we diagnose the underlying cause of your pain and then focus the treatment there. Rather than using medications to mask the symptoms, our treatments focus on curing your pain.
We feel that a team approach ensures greater success and quicker recovery. Traveling to different physician clinics and hospitals can be quite frustrating and results in numerous patients to abandon their care. Leaving them frustrated and not be able to perform daily activities. Imagine not being able to get a glass of water or make it to the bathroom without pain. Leaving you enslaved in your own body.
