Pain Doesn't Have a Curve to Flatten: Don't hesitate to be referred!

A pain management rehabilitation specialist is a licensed occupational or physical therapist with advanced knowledge, training and experience in treating pain. Southwest Therapy Specialists' therapists are highly skilled in pain management and are experts in the valley. They work under the prescribed services typically ordered by the Pain Management physician, for example to reduce the use of opioid medication.

These specialists use pain management techniques to teach the person with pain how to cope and manage their painful condition rather than the pain controlling them. The causes for the pain may be due to an injury, trauma, neuropathic issue, headache, a surgical procedure, cancer or another illness.
