Sartell, Minnesota, United States – September 20, 2024 —

The Interventional Pain & Physical Medicine Clinic (IPPMC), a leader in multidisciplinary pain management, has updated its patient evaluation protocols to include psychological and psychiatric assessments as an integral part of its pain management program. This development aims to provide a more holistic approach to treatment for individuals suffering from chronic pain and related conditions.

At IPPMC, the treatment of pain goes beyond physical symptoms. The clinic’s approach recognizes the complex interplay between mind and body, particularly in how emotional and psychological well-being impacts physical health and pain perception. As part of the updated evaluation protocol, patients experiencing chronic pain, especially those dealing with complex regional pain syndrome, will undergo comprehensive psychological assessments. This is crucial for those who have not seen improvement over extended periods or exhibit depressive and emotional disturbances.

A Spokesperson stated, “Our commitment is to address all facets of pain. By integrating psychological evaluations into our treatment protocols, we aim to identify and address the broader impacts of chronic pain on our patients’ lives, ensuring a more effective and responsive treatment plan.”

IPPMC employs a range of interventional pain procedures, such as diagnostic and therapeutic injections, which are conducted under fluoroscopic guidance to ensure precision. These procedures are intended to be minimally invasive, offering targeted pain relief without the need for major surgery.

The clinic’s enhanced focus on psychological well-being includes interventions such as cognitive and behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques, hypnosis, and stress management, which are pivotal in helping patients manage their pain more effectively. For patients being considered for narcotic management, psychological evaluations are essential to ensure that all aspects of their health are considered in creating a comprehensive treatment plan.

“Effective pain management is not just about alleviating physical symptoms but also about understanding the psychological components that contribute to a patient’s experience of pain,” added a spokesperson. “Our integrated approach ensures that each patient’s care plan is as comprehensive and individualized as possible.”

The enhanced protocols are in line with IPPMC’s philosophy of closely monitored, individualized treatment plans supported by a multidisciplinary team. Each patient’s progress is meticulously tracked using functional outcome measurements to ensure that the treatment not only addresses the pain but also improves the overall quality of life.

With these updates, IPPMC continues to lead innovative pain management strategies that recognize and treat the complexities of chronic pain, affirming their leadership in interventional pain and physical medicine. This commitment to comprehensive care ensures that patients receive the most effective and compassionate treatment.
