Hours
Saint Alphonsus Comprehensive Pain Management has been serving the needs of patients in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Utah for over 20 years. We try to identify the treatable cause of your pain.
There are times we cannot treat the cause and therefore focus our effort on managing your pain. However, our providers usually see the pain as the symptom of an underlying disorder. We follow a system of care and intensity of service that includes
- An outpatient service that offers the necessary requirements to address complex, difficult-to-diagnose and/or treat pain conditions. This includes state-of-the-art equipment and fluoroscopy for guidance during certain procedures.
- An experienced and proven staff who are devoted and trained exclusively in the evaluation, education, and treatment of pain illness to achieve optimum and cost-effective outcome results
- Reducing pain
- Reasonable and responsible control of symptoms
- Providing individualized length of treatment. Some patients may have a single treatment or procedure, while others may have a complex program of longer duration.
- Improving sleep hygiene
- Achieving the appropriate balance of medication
- Addressing the presence and origin of drug dependencyCautious use of addictive medications
- Ongoing consultations with referring physicians (as needed) to ensure that treatment established can continue after the patient leaves the care of the Pain Center staff
