Our Philosophy
Pain is a complex experience that can have a profound impact on a person’s life. It is the most common symptom that brings a patient to a physician’s office. Pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including tissue injury, disease, and emotional distress.
Pain can be defined as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, with affective and cognitive responses.” This means that pain is not just a physical sensation, but also an emotional and psychological experience. Pain can affect a person’s mood, sleep, appetite, and ability to function in daily life.
Pain can be a debilitating condition. It can interfere with a person’s ability to work, care for themselves, and enjoy life. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for pain, but there are a variety of options available, including medication, physical therapy, and alternative therapies.
If you are struggling with pain, please seek help from a healthcare professional. There is no shame in seeking help for pain, and there are many effective treatments available. With the right treatment, you can manage your pain and improve your quality of life.
Chronic pain patients are often stigmatized. They may be accused of exaggerating their pain, taking advantage of the system, or being addicted to opioids. This stigma can make it difficult for patients to get the care they need.
At CPRC, we are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for our patients. We believe that all patients deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. We listen to our patients and take their pain seriously. We work with our patients to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets their individual needs.
We understand that chronic pain can be a debilitating condition. It can interfere with a patient’s ability to work, care for themselves, and enjoy life. We are here to help our patients manage their pain and improve their quality of life.
We use the term “opioid” instead of “narcotics” to reduce the stigma associated with chronic pain. We believe that this change in terminology can help to create a more understanding and compassionate environment for our patients.

Program Goals
The CPRC Pain Management Program is designed to meet the needs of individuals in chronic pain. We endeavor to achieve the best results for patients through a comprehensive treatment program, which enhances the recovery process. To accomplish these results, we have established the following primary goals of our treatment program:
-To help patients progress toward a safe return to normal activities of daily living and to resume the most functional, independent and productive lifestyle possible.
-To help patients progress toward a safe return to normal.
-To increase the patient’s general level of strength, mobility, muscular, and cardio-vascular endurance.
-To educate patients concerning their injury and to help them live within their physical limitations to prevent re-injury.
-To provide a comprehensive evaluation and assessment in conjunction with the patient’s primary physician.
-To develop a patient tailored physical and psychological treatment plan. All available data will be considered in the development of the patient’s chronic pain program. Weekly goals and activities will be established with the help of the patient to encourage their full cooperation and participation in the healing process.
-To eliminate the origin of the patient’s pain when possible while at the same time helping them to accept and cope with any continued pain.
-To teach patient’s to function despite their continued pain and to raise their threshold of discomfort.
-To decrease the patient’s dependency on medication for pain when appropriate and to substitute healthier non-Opioid pain management techniques.
-To return patient’s to gainful employment.
Program Modalities
Multidisciplinary treatment modalities to be provided will include the following:
Medication Evaluation and Management
Our program incorporates physician recommended medications to reduce pain levels and enable patients to actively participate in exercising to improve their daily functioning. Medications will also help establish adequate sleep patterns, to reduce depression, and to decrease anxiety, which are often barriers to successful rehabilitation. Our goal is to help patients titrate medication, substitute non-Opioid coping strategies and whenever possible become Opioid free. Our on site Physiatrist (physician specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) will provide consultation to the treating physician as requested to help the patient become less dependent on Opioid medication.
Massage Therapy and Myofascial Release
This modality provides the reduction of muscle spasms/muscle tension, oxygenates muscles to promote healing, and reduces pain to sensitive trigger point areas.
Exercise
This modality helps patients to improve their strength, flexibility, active range of motion, and endurance through stretching, cardio-vascular, and weight lifting activities. Exercise also increases the natural endorphins (painkillers) and neurotransmitters (antidepressants) in the brain.
Aquatic Therapy
This modality provides low impact physical conditioning to assist in muscle strengthening and increased flexibility.
Individual Psychotherapy
This modality will help the patient to accept and manage their pain; deal with the trauma associated with a catastrophic injury, complete the grieving process related to their physical loss and develop realistic expectations concerning their intractable pain. Individual therapy will assist the patient in expressing him/herself directly to avoid channeling his/her feelings into somatic complaints. Individual treatment will also provide the patient with feedback regarding their performance as well as providing an opportunity to refine their individualized treatment goals.
Pain Management Group Treatment
Group psychotherapy will assist the patient in learning new ways to manage their pain from other individuals who suffer from a similar disability in a safe, open atmosphere. Examples of relevant group topics include setting realistic limits to avoid re-injury, the importance of returning to work as a method of distracting the mind from continuous pain, assertiveness training, anger management, stress management, and cognitive restructuring techniques for reducing pain exacerbating negative thinking.
Vocational Testing/Counseling
Individuals are provided with state of the art vocational testing and consultation. This counseling helps the patient to explore new employment options while taking their physical limitations into account. Patients will explore educational and employment opportunities and will be offered direction in obtaining the skills necessary to achieve the goal of returning to gainful employment.
Interdisciplinary Case Conference
The chronic pain management team will meet weekly to coordinate care and to develop weekly treatment goals for each patient. Patients are provided with information and feedback concerning their performance as well as giving them an opportunity to have input into their treatment plan and to provide feedback to help us to serve them better.
