Our Approach
Our goals for every patient are:
- To reduce pain as much as safely possible
- To improve functioning and movement
- To support and enhance the body’s own inner healing system
- To heal in the development of any necessary coping skills
In end-of-life situations where recovery no longer seems possible, we strive to provide supportive and intensive attention to comfort care.
Realistic Expectations
While 100% pain relief is certainly the ideal, such an expectation is frequently not realistic. Degenerative processes, the mechanical results of certain fractures and injuries, residual effects of strokes, high stress levels, etc, all can leave us with situations where we must be thankful for any measure of pain relief that allows for increased comfort and improved function.
