A word about chronic pain:
Because chronic pain conditions are so common, a family doctor needs to know how to treat them. Although I do care holistically for my patients’ pain issues along with their other health conditions, I do not accept new patients for the purpose of pain management alone, who already have an established relationship with a primary caregiver (medical doctor, osteopath, chiropractor, or naturopath) for basic health needs. If you are unhappy with your current primary doctor’s management of your pain, please ask them to refer you to a Pain Specialist – not another Primary Care provider – for a second opinion.
I also discourage patients with chronic pain from traveling outside their home city for primary care; you need to have a doctor who knows you well, who knows your community well, and who is close at hand in case of emergency. This is even more true for those of us whose health is complicated by daily pain and its treatment.
