Tri-State Pain Institute

About

Committed to restoring your active lifestyle.

Story

Our philosophy is to provide compassionate care for pain patients and to avoid the need for unnecessary surgeries and prevent long-term problems of addicting medications. Caring for our patients is our top priority and purpose.
Our goal is to improve our patients’ quality of life, giving them the ability to be productive, and enjoy their daily activities. To return patients to their normal day-to-day activities or to as normal of a lifestyle as possible, as quickly as possible. We take an innovative approach to pain management, providing consultation and treatment to individuals with a variety of pain problems. We emphasize an individualized pain-control plan, assessment and frequent reassessment, and the use of pain relief medications to alleviate pain. We have always and will continue to stay on the cutting edge of new techniques as well as state-of-the-art equipment and supplies to give patients the best care possible.

Mission

Did You Know……?
• According to the American Medical Association, chronic pain is under treated.
• The majority of people suffering with chronic pain have been living with their pain for over 5 years, almost 6 days a week.
• People just like you are most often reluctant to report their true pain level. Still, those who do report pain are most often under treated.
• Too few health care professionals are adequately trained in appropriate medications.
• Unrelieved pain has negative physiological and psychological effects that impair your daily life.
At some point in our lives, most of us will suffer from chronic pain. One out of every three Americans lives daily with discomfort from an injury, arthritis, or cancer. We know too well that chronic pain changes our life-while relaxing, eating, and even sleeping. Pain also leaves us depressed and affects our relationships with family and friends. Unfortunately, while long-term pain is common-too often it is simply misunderstood. Many people resign themselves to enduring pain and let it go untreated. However, no one should live with pain. It can be properly diagnosed and controlled, giving you the relief you need and the opportunity to live a normal and full life. All too often, people see a pain management specialist as a last resort for pain, instead of a first stop on the road to wellness. Be aware of your body and take note when you are in pain. If that pain persists – contact us.
