Evidence Based Treatment of Painful conditions. Evaluation, Diagnosis and Management of any intractable painful condition using latest state of the art technology. Before a treatment is suggested, an in depth evaluation of the patient is performed by the physician. All new patients are always evaluated by a physician. A formal treatment plan is made and discussed in details with the patient. Depending on the clinical problems, if necessary, interventional options are offered. Interventional options are either diagnostic or therapeutic or both. Some of the interventions are diagnostic and at the same time therapeutic (helps to make diagnosis and at the same time it is treatment for the painful condition). The details of interventional options are discussed with the patient in depth. Informed consent is obtained. All available treatment options are discussed with the patient. A decision of a treatment options is considered only after the patient understands the options to his or her satisfaction. Only scientifically proven treatment algorithms are followed in the process of establishing a diagnosis. We at this center follow International Spine Intervention Society's guidelines (ISIS). If an interventional procedure is performed then adequate pre-procedure information or post procedure information are given to the patient. All procedures are performed under strict cardiopulmonary monitoring as per the guideline of American Society of Anesthesiology recommendations. http://www.aptcmd.com/treatment.html.

Subooxone Treatment: This treatment is offered to opioid dependent patients. In the course of treatment with opioid, some patients become physically dependent on opioid and are unable to wean off of opioid. Suboxone treatment is a maintenance treatment and is offered to opioid dependent patient. The dose that is given for maintenance is not for analgesia or pain relief. Before suboxone treatment is instituted, a full detailed physical examination is performed. If necessary, patient is referred to a psychologists for detailed evaluation. Induction of Suboxone treatment is done only when a patient is in withdrawal state (symptoms of withdrawal are nervousness, anxiety, shaking, goose bumps in the skin, abdominal cramps, diarrhea with or without vomiting etc.). Patient is given Suboxone under supervision and if necessary with appropriate monitoring and is observed in the recovery area. The dose is titrated up until patient's withdrawal symptoms are somewhat under control. Patient need to sign an opioid contract. Patients normally undergo urine screen randomly and on regularly basis as well. The goal of this therapy is to give a patient a normal life by minimizing craving for opioid and thereby reducing chances of abuse. ALTHOUGH WE OFFER THIS TREATMENT, BUT THE PRIMARY SERVICE OF THE CENTER IS TO DIAGNOSE AND TREAT CHRONIC DEBILITATING PAIN USING INTERVENTIONAL PAIN MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES.
