But, really, you also have to educate them on what they have. “Most people who have chronic pain are going to have some modicum of pain, but my job is to get you to where you can manage your pain and still function as a human … where it's not debilitating.” – Dr. Robert Ain “When we do this interventional pain management, we do not use much of pain medications and side effects associated with the pain medications. And we strongly believe doing interventional pain management is more beneficial to the patient rather than giving them the pain medications. “For example, if they have low back pain and when they exhaust all the conservative therapies, which includes anti-inflammatory pain medications and physical therapy, then we proceed with simple measures like epidural steroid injections.” – Dr. Chandra Tokala “The team approach at the Pain Center at Kansas Spine involves using multiple different modalities, both utilizing physicians, in the realms of neurosurgery, radiology, pain management physicians, as well as nurse practitioners and physician assistants who will aid in following with the patients along in a treatment plan or treatment regimen as it's developed. They are a key to working with the patient and bringing the patient into their own care and their own treatment.” – Dr. Scott For more information, ask your doctor about the Pain Center, call (316) 462-5072, or visit https://kansaspaincenter.com/.
