"As a woman who's lived with chronic pain (CRPS & fibromyalgia) for over two decades, I was totally dissatisfied when my doctors left me with the sole option of having an intrathecal pump along with two spinal cord stimulators implanted. I felt certain this invasive treatment would do me great har. That's when I shifted gears and made my first appointment with Dr. Brodsky.
With Dr. Brodsky's integrative medicine approach, I found a different path to healing and hope for better days ahead. He truly listened to my concerns, displaying an extraordinary bedside manner that immediately eased my mind. We worked as partners, finding the best holisitic approach to gain a balance in my body and life- which in turn better managed my pain."

Pain Management Program
Many people suffer with chronic pain, sometimes related to illness or injury, often due to causes not yet identified. For some pain is a side effect of medical treatment while for others it is related to aging, injury or stress. Regardless of the cause our Integrative Pain Management program provides holistic support, treatment and solutions.
Pain Conditions We Treat
People with a variety of issues may benefit from the integrative pain management program, including those with chronic pain (such as neck and low back pain, headaches and jaw pain, neuropathy) and diseases such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, cancer and others.
