"Feel Better, Live Happier' System
If you’re in constant pain, the most everyday task can be difficult. Medication can dull that pain but it doesn’t solve the problem of why you have the pain in the first place.
As a patient of The Pain Institute, you’ll be cared for by our multi-disciplinary pain management practice. What that means is we combine medical pain management with physical rehabilitation, spinal decompression, and now - medical weight loss, all under one roof.
We don’t just make your pain better for a few days, we help you live a healthier, happy life.
Here at The Pain Institute, we treat the whole you. From the moment you walk in the door of our Greater Saint Louis pain clinic conveniently located in Swansea, Illinois, you can take advantage of our ‘Feel Better, Live Happier’ System, which is based on 3 important phases of treatment that follow you through the whole healing process.
Phase 1: Pain Relief
In the beginning you come in because you hurt, and the only thing we care about is getting you out of pain. That’s the number 1 focus that we have.
Getting you out of pain right now is your priority and ours.
It’s a pretty simple straightforward goal.
If you suffer from chronic pain, it can make the simplest things in life seem impossible. And getting rid of the pain can be very hard for some.
That’s why the doctors at The Pain Institute pride ourselves on being on the cutting edge of pain management by offering the most modern treatments available on the market.
When you come to The Pain Institute for your initial consultation, you’ll have a thorough physical, orthopedic, and neurological exam.
The Pain Management Team providers will work with you to develop a tailor-made treatment plan focused on getting you out of pain and getting on with your life.
Phase 2: Fix the Cause
Next, let’s fix what’s broken.
To help get rid of your pain for the longterm, we have to treat the underlying cause of the pain.
Taking care of your pain is not just about ‘now.’
Here’s how it works:
If you break your leg, the pain is intense. When you take pain medicine for it, the pain feels better but the leg is still broken. If you don’t let the doctor actually repair your broken leg, the pain will be back as soon as the pain medicine wears off... and the pain will NEVER go away!
We treat the cause of your pain, just like the doctor who fixes your broken leg. The causes of chronic pain are often complex and longstanding, so the treatment process isn’t always as straightforward and quick as surgery for a broken leg. You have the experts of the Pain Management Team focusing on you.
You want your life back, to be able to do more every day, to live a more normal life again. You want to feel better now... AND later! We’re on your side all the way.
Phase 3: Lock-in Wellness
You feel better. Your pain is completely gone or well-controlled. Together, we’ve achieved a good result and now we want to keep it.
So in Phase 3, together we’ll concentrate on lifestyle factors such as nutrition and exercise.
Managing your pain and its causes for the rest of your life includes choices you make about the other parts of your life, like nutrition, exercise, and so forth. All those choices impact your overall health and happiness.
At The Pain Institute, we just try to help people make better lifestyle decisions.
Now that your pain is relieved, you are ready to move on. We’re here to help you do that.
You’ll learn the secrets of how you can take control of your life and live a healthier, happy life.
You’ll learn how to lock in the benefits you’ve achieved by working with our Pain Management Team.
