Overview of Service
The Pain Clinic of Northwestern Wisconsin addresses pain as a disease and not a symptom. Therefore, our practice focuses on reducing the pain and suffering of our patients and increasing their ability to do activities of daily living with more ease.
The Pain Clinic provides evaluation and alternative treatments. Surgery may not be the final answer. The Pain Clinic believes in a conservative approach utilizing physical therapy and progressing to the use of state-of-the art technology and new treatments when needed. We are continuously evaluating new technologies and actively researching existing procedures for effectiveness in our chronic pain patients. We also understand the importance of evaluating these technologies so as to avoid performing procedures that have a low likelihood of healing a patient.
At the Pain Clinic of Northwestern Wisconsin we consider the whole person and their family when treating the pain. Pain Clinic staff work with other health care professionals, physical therapists, family physicians and services that might be needed such as social workers, hospice, home care agencies, behavioral health specialists to assist with modification of life styles and to encourage retaining and regaining maximum quality of life.
