Welcome

At   Therapeutic   Pain   Management   Medical   Clinic   (TPM),   the   physicians   are   well   trained   and   experienced   in   a   variety   of treatment   options.   We   have   been   treating   chronic   pain   since   1996   and   have   evaluated   over   12,000   patients   since   then. We   offer   comprehensive   evaluation,   reliable   treatment   options   and   referral   to   other   specialists   as   needed   to   treat your   chronic   pain.   It   is   extremely   important   to   know   that   at   TPM,   we   practice   evidenced   based   medicine   and   not something    based    upon    a    personal    belief    or    financial    agenda.    Evidence    based    medicine    is    treatment    which    is thoroughly    studied    worldwide,    published    in    respectable    peer-reviewed    medical    journals    and    practiced    by    well- respected    physicians    and    surgeons    in        their    respective    specialty.    Every    few    months    a    new    treatment    becomes available,   but   does   it   work   in   reality   or   does   it   just   raise   yourhopes   unnecessarily   -   only   to   disappoint   you   further   and cost you or your insurance more money. Since   chronic   pain   is   difficult   to   cure,   the   treatment   options   are   aimed   at   maintaining   a   decent   quality   of   life   or improving   that.   This   is   the   real   goal   of   chronic   pain   treatment   and   patient   participation   is   very   important   to   achieve that   goal.   We   are   no   longer   routinely   advocating   use   of   narcotic   medications   for   chronic   non-cancer   pain.   Therefore, we   do   not   accept   new   patients   referred   for   prescribing   opioid   pain   medications   and   we   do   not   offer   intra-thecal pumps.
