Chronic pain is a largely misunderstood condition, and what has been even less understood historically is the treatment of it.
Rather than masking the symptoms of pain through surgery and prescription medication, without the effort to truly uncover and treat the cause of chronic pain, this has created a broken system of care for treating patients. It has also caused a national crisis where millions of Americans are addicted to medication, but also continue to live in pain.
These are some of the reasons why we have rebranded our practice. At Aspire Pain Relief Institute – we focus on patients who truly aspire to get well. Who truly aspire to follow our treatment, guidance, behavioral support initiatives, to seek a better quality of life with less pain inhibiting their activities. We also provide help and support to the families whose loved ones are in our care. We aspire to treat the whole person, the whole family, to identify the cause of pain and treat it appropriately.
After serving for more than a decade as the head of Specialized Cancer Pain at Moffitt Center, then evolving as Aspire Pain Relief Institute, I am optimistic and eager to meet new patients and help them seek the relief from the pain they deserve.
We are truly committed to helping patients suffering from chronic pain who aspire to be pain-free. We look forward to meeting and treating you.
