A Word About Pain Management
Pain is a normal part of life but when it keeps you from staying active and enjoying life, you need a solution!
The Main Goal of Pain Management is to keep a person as active as possible.
- Pain is usually a symptom resulting from an injury to body tissue. However, there are times when pain is no longer just a symptom of a condition but actually becomes the condition to be treated.
- Persistent and complex pain conditions arise from many causes. However there are many specialized methods to treat such pain.
- We believe in an active, progressive approach to pain management that combines specialized procedures, targeted physical therapy, behavior modification and carefully planned medication.
- Our patient care philosophy requires patient involvement in their personal treatment plan.

Testimonials

"I have a condition in my back called Spondylolisthesis which caused an arthritis-like inflammation in my spine. It was terrible; I could not stand or walk. I could not do the things I enjoy like cooking and singing in my church choir.
An orthopaedic surgeon even told me that I needed surgery which I did not want then and do not want now but I had to find some sort of relief.
Dr. Charles Brownlow at Pain Solutions Treatment Center diagnosed the problem and performed a procedure called Thermal Radiofrequency that actually knocks out the nerves that go to the part of my spine that was so irritated.
The result was like Night and Day! Since I had the procedure in September of 2005, I have been free from back pain. I'm cooking, singing in the choir, being active and just enjoying life.
It may sound over dramatic but it's true, I have my life back! "

"I've had low back pain for a number of years. It was so bad that I actually had a couple of surgeries on it because I was losing feeling in my legs.
After the surgery I regained the feeling in my legs but my back still hurt awful to the point that I could not think of anything else
So I needed the surgery but I still had the terrible pain in my back. Dr. Hurd at Pain Solutions Treatment Centers has been able to keep me active with a combination of physical therapy and Epidural Steroid Injections that keep me going."

"This letter is a testament of whom and what Dr. Tom Hurd of Pain Solutions Treatment Centers really is.
I must tell you that after a life time of using my body, 'with reckless abandonment', I discovered my left shoulder had to be completely rebuilt, and then discovered I had a tumor in my neck between two small fractures, that I had no idea I even had. The pain was literally unbearable; 24/7.
Dr. Hurd spent quality time with me and tried everything he could come up with to give me some relief. Dr. Hurd alleviated my fears and kept working, so I could have the quality of life we all deserve. Even his partners and staff are always top notch.
My doctor and his group at Pain Solutions are making my life worth living again. I have absolute trust in him."

"Here are the basics of my case:
I was a young, active husband and dad who is an avid golfer. I developed Peripheral Artery Disease at about age 38 that led to a thromboemboli or clot formation in my lower right leg. This required surgery to remove the clot but in the course of the procedure and during recovery, smaller clots developed in the foot further disrupting blood flow. The situation now not only caused incredible pain but also came close to prompting the amputation of my leg.
An artery by-pass procedure saved my leg but the severe pain remained. Pain medications could not keep the pain under control and my activity level, not to mention my beloved golfing, became severely restricted. It was around here that I met Dr. Hurd who tried several different injection procedures that did not help. Dr. Hurd then performed a Spinal Cord Stimulator implant which uses tiny nerve electro-stimulations to cancel out the pain stimuli. Now, the pain is under control, I have my leg and am back to being an active husband, dad and golfer again."
"Thanks to Dr. Hurd I have my lifestyle back and can keep up with my daughter, who is now a professional golfer, when she is on and off the course"
