California Pain Center is a medical clinic devoted to treating chronic pain.
CHRONIC PAIN can be influenced by several factors including gender, age, ethnicity, culture, and co-existing conditions. Improperly diagnosed and/or under-treated, chronic pain can cause physical, psychological, and emotional hardships that can severely alter the life of patients and their loved ones.
At CALIFORNIA PAIN CENTER, our goal is to expertly diagnose and treat chronic pain conditions to decrease pain symptoms and improve day-to-day function. Each patient has unique circumstances and we tailor treatments individually. The best outcomes are achieved when multiple therapies are utilized such as minimally-invasive injections, regenerative biologics, implantable devices, physical therapy, chiropractic therapy, exercise, acupuncture, medications, and psychological support.
We look forward to helping you maximize your pain control and functional abilities with compassion and care.
