SJ Pain Associates
SJ Pain Associates is dedicated to providing the most comprehensive pain management possible for our patients. Comprehensive pain management takes into consideration patient’s physical pain as well as the impact that pain can have on activities of daily living, work, sleep, relationships and emotions.
The medical specialty of Pain Management has grown dramatically over the last 20 years. In1993 the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) recognized Pain Management as a specialty through board certification. ABMS is recognized as the gold standard in physician certification. It requires completion of residency and specialized post-graduate training prior to completion of a comprehensive examination.
All physicians in SJ Pain Associates are ABMS board certified and must recertify for this important standard every 10 years to remain current with the rapidly changing science. Our physicians are available to provide consultations and treatment at 4 convenient hospital based locations in the metropolitan area. We also make home visits providing palliative care for hospice patients. Our physicians work with the help of outstanding nurses and support staff. Together we offer compassionate care for our patients.
