Recovery Enhanced Comprehensive Pain Management
Recovery Enhanced Comprehensive Pain Management
Treatment at REMI begins with a comprehensive evaluation. A thorough medical history is obtained to determine the source(s) of pain and treatments that have been utilized in the past. Next an analysis of evidence- based factors that can impact successful pain management is done using modern objective screening instruments. This include assessments of psychosocial wellness and level of behavioral health sensitivity. Input from family, friends and previous providers is sought to help understand the nature and extent of the chronic pain experience. This evaluation combined with the unique goals of the pain sufferer help create an individualized treatment plan to meet the pain recovery needs that have been identified. A customized combination of the 3 M's is created.
