VIMG Pain Management Program
SERVICES OFFERED BY:
Pain Management Essentials is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary program that teaches patients effective strategies to manage and reduce chronic pain. A dedicated team of professionals including MD's, chiropractors, physical therapists, nutritionists, and massage therapists develop collaborative treatment plans individual to each patient in the program. The patient is established as a member of the team and works closely with the providers to develop goals and refine the treatment program.
Pain Management Essentials educates patients and their families about chronic pain. Patients are given steps to create positive behavioral and cognitive changes to help them manage their chronic pain. The program also provides patients with education on topics such as nutrition, managing breakthrough pain, medication management, goal setting and insight into acknowledging pain and functional limits and movement awareness. Improving physical mobility is a central focus of Pain management essentials. Each visit will build on the principles of posture as patients explore alternative movement options. Developing an internal sense of control over chronic pain has been medically proven to improve a patient's ability to tolerate pain and stress and provides an overall increase in self esteem and optimism. Each week, patients will receive instruction in an intervention technique that will help them to develop this internal sense of control.
Knowing that every patient is different is the cornerstone of the Vail Integrative Medical Group. The program uses a number of the latest non-invasive an interventional methods to ease patient's discomfort, all under the direction of the specially trained staff.
