THE PAIN MANAGEMENT GROUP is a multi-disciplinary team of providers dedicated to the treatment of acute and chronic pain in Middle Tennessee. Our board-certified physicians and advanced practitioners in Tennessee’s most established pain management practice have been seeing patients in Middle Tennessee since 1996.
Pain hurts in more ways than one. The physical sensation of pain is hard enough to deal with, but persistent pain can hurt in other ways. Pain can make it more difficult to work, to enjoy recreational activities and to spend time with friends and family. Pain can also make it harder to be a parent, a partner and a friend.
At The Pain Management Group, we realize that the stress and mental challenges caused by pain can be as difficult to cope with as the pain itself. We understand that pain can affect nearly every area of life and that pain that does not improve can easily make a person feel lost, frustrated and worried. We believe that the best way to treat persistent pain is to focus not only on the physical causes and symptoms of pain, but its emotional, social and psychological consequences, as well. To successfully treat the pain patient, we need to attend to the whole person. That’s why we are dedicated to providing holistic care to all patients.
Chronic pain can be frustrating and debilitating. At AZ Pain Doctors, we understand the significant impact that pain can have on your quality of life. Oftentimes, patients are given powerful narcotic medications without a thorough diagnostic evaluation, or any other evidence-based treatments. Our practice philosophy is to first determine a diagnosis for your pain. It is very difficult to effectively treat pain without knowing the actual pain generator.
After the providers at AZ Pain Doctors have determined an appropriate diagnosis, we will then formulate a treatment plan based on our philosophy which prioritizes treatments best supported by evidence in medical literature and best practices.
Currently, medical studies favor a multidisciplinary approach for treating patients suffering from pain. A multidisciplinary approach involves using a combination of modalities such as physical therapy, chiropractic care, medications, and interventional pain management procedures. By using a team approach to your care, we here at AZ Pain Doctors are optimizing the likelihood of successful pain reduction in our patients lives.
