Effective Headache Treatment Now Available at Leading Arizona Pain Management Clinics


Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) May 16, 2012

The Award Winning pain management team at Arizona Pain Specialists now offers comprehensive treatment for all types of headaches including migraines, tension and cluster headaches at all of its Valleywide locations. Appointments can be scheduled at the various pain clinics in Arizona at (602) 507-6550.

Headaches are a significant health problem in the US. According to the National Headache Foundation, over 45 million Americans suffer from chronic recurring headaches which is approximately 15% of the population. There are various causes of headaches including tension, migraine, cluster, sinus, and others. It can be difficult to make the correct diagnosis of the specific type of headache, but it is crucial in order to optimize treatment outcomes. Migraine headaches, for example, lead to over 150 million lost work days in the US.

Arizona Pain Specialists now has Double Board Certified pain management doctors in Arizona along with physical rehab doctors, chiropractors, and acupuncturists. These medical providers collaborate on patients as a comprehensive team assisting each other in the diagnosis and effective treatment of those individuals with headaches.

The treatments for headaches at Arizona Pain are broad and include the following options:

???? Medication Management for prophylaxis and treatment including opiates, NSAIDs and more.
???? Botox Injections
???? Occipital Nerve Stimulation
???? Cervical Facet Injections
???? Cervical Epidural Steroid Injections
???? Sphenopalatine Nerve Blocks
???? Occipital Nerve Blocks
???? Supratrochlear Nerve Blocks
???? Supra/ Infraorbital Nerve Blocks
???? Acupuncture
???? Chiropractic Manipulations
???? Exercise and Nutrition Counseling, Vitamin & Hormone Supplements
???? Biofeedback

“One of the most important headache managements is to truly seek out the source of the problem, and then treat specifically based on that diagnosis. A shotgun approach works haphazardly. At Arizona pain clinics such as Arizona Pain Specialists, the providers use intensive diagnostic efforts to truly understand the source of the problem, and therefore maximize the chances of pain reduction with specific and individualized treatments,” said David Greene, CEO of the Arizona Pain Network.

Patients can be scheduled at (602) 507-6550 for any one of the various clinics including Glendale, Scottsdale, or Chandler.

Best Arizona Pain Clinic Now Offering Treatment with Award Winning Double Board Certified Pain Doctors at All Locations


Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) May 07, 2012

The best Arizona pain doctors maintain Board Certification and Fellowship training to offer patients the best chance of success with pain relief. Arizona Pain now offers double Board Certified Arizona pain doctors at all of its Valley locations serving Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Glendale and surrounding areas. All of the clinics are accepting new patients at 602-507-6550.

According to the Institute of Medicine report from last year, over 30% of Americans are suffering from a chronic pain condition. The recommendation from the Institute was to incorporate comprehensive pain management treatments for patients from qualified physicians to produce the best possible outcomes. Arizona Pain now offers treatment with double Board Certified pain management doctors at all locations.

In order to be a practicing pain management physician in America, a doctor does not necessarily have to complete a Fellowship or be Board Certified in the subspecialty. However, the field of pain management is a rapidly evolving one that is continually offering new treatments for both procedures and medications to help benefit those dealing with chronic pain. The pain doctors at Arizona Pain are board certified in both anesthesia and specifically pain management, incorporating both medical and interventional treatments to benefit their patients.

A fellowship in pain management involves a solid year learning specifically about how to treat those suffering from chronic pain with individualized techniques to help patients be able to work better, play with their kids more, and maintain better social relationships while avoiding depression. The proper combination off treatments that are learned during a specialized fellowship type of training can make the difference between a patient achieving a mild amount of pain relief versus one getting off most or all opiate medications.

Achieving Board Certification in pain management involves extensive testing and peer review of clinical expertise in the subspecialty of pain medicine. The doctors at Arizona Pain have achieved Board Certification in Pain Management as well as the field of anesthesiology, both of which come into play for maximizing the successful outcomes of their patients.

“To put it simply, they are the best pain management doctors in Arizona. They have won four Patient’s Choice awards in a row, multiple Phoenix Magazine Top Doc awards, have gone through Double Board certification, Fellowship training, and the outcomes with their patients are nothing short of remarkable. If you are dealing with acute or chronic pain in your back, neck, or extremities, you will be in the best hands at Arizona Pain,” said Arizona pain network CEO David Greene.

Arizona Pain treats patients out of multiple Arizona pain clinic locations serving Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Glendale, Tempe, and more.

The doctors accept most insurance plans including CIGNA, Aetna, United Health, Blue Cross, Worker’s Compensation, Personal Injury from auto accidents, multiple AHCCCS plans including APIPA and Mercy Care, along with accepting self pay patients.

Along with the Arizona pain management services, all of the clinics also offer chiropractic services including spinal manipulations, spinal decompression therapy and acupuncture.

Appointments may be scheduled by calling 602-507-6550.
