Pain is an individual experience. It can't be seen or measured and is as unique as a fingerprint.

What is chronic pain?

Acute pain, such as from a broken bone or recovey from surgery, is usually short-term and typically has no lasting effect.

Chronic pain continues for an extended period of time and may affect work, relationships and self-esteem.

Who comes to HealthEast Pain Care?

We help people who live with chronic pain from a variety of causes and offer treatment for conditions like:

  • Back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Myofascial pain syndrome
  • Neuropathies, including causalgia
  • Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD)
  • Postherpetic neuralgia
  • Cancer pain

You must be referred to Pain Care by your primary care doctor or a specialist.

Being a patient means relief

At HealthEast Pain Care, you will be treated by a team of professionals with advanced training in pain management. Our doctors practice current pain management therapies and regularly attending classes and seminars in new techniques. Our doctors are spinal interventionalists and are board certified.

Chronic pain is often more complicated than physical injury alone. HealthEast Pain Care offers services to address biological, cognitive, emotional and behavioral factors that often play a role in chronic pain including psychological assessment and treatments such as individual therapy, group therapy and biofeedback.
