CREATING A TREATMENT PLAN JUST FOR YOU
Bermuda Pain Relief Center helps with managing pain that lasts beyond the expected period of healing. Pain can develop from an injury, surgery, infection, or dozens of other medical conditions. The pain can occasionally persist long after an injury or illness is healed and the nerves keep sending pain signals. This is known as Chronic Pain. Chronic pain also includes discomfort secondary to NON-treatable conditions and pain of unknown cause (Idiopathic). We understand that pain is real, complex, and common, but so is its treatment.
There are multiple steps required to manage your discomfort and this may vary depending on the type and intensity of the pain you are presenting with.
Bermuda Pain Relief Center will guide you through each one of the steps and will discuss what the process entitles in detail. This includes, but is not limited to, your activities of daily living, medication regimes, non-invasive treatment options, therapy(ies), and if a consultation with a surgeon is required. We are here to provide full support and ensure that you do not feel alone in this process.
Our mission at Bermuda Pain Relief Center is to provide quality, individualized care with a multidisciplinary approach to help you restore your desired lifestyle.
