Compassionate Care for a Life With Less Pain
The Northern Light Pain Management team understands the daily struggles for those living with pain and discomfort. We work with you and your loved ones to develop a plan so that you can think less about your pain and focus more on the important things—your family, hobbies, and career—in your life.
Northern Light Pain Management has experts to help get you back to a normal routine sooner, and feeling better is a key part of that. We take a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to helping you reduce your pain.
We work in close collaboration with your other providers, including primary care, specialists, physiatrists, pain psychologists, and physical therapists, to reduce pain and improve your quality of life, getting you back to being as functionally independent as possible.
Your Pathway to Pain Relief
Our patients typically have chronic, consistent, focal pain which has not responded to conservative care such as physical therapy, manual methods, or medication. By using history, physical examination, and imaging to develop one or several likely diagnoses. If appropriate, targeted injections are performed for diagnostic and /or therapeutic purposes. Depending on results, injection or denervation can be repeated as needed. Alternatively, patients can be returned to conservative care or referred to another specialist.
