LPI Specializes In Many Different Types Of Pain

Lipson Pain Institute utilizes education, individual treatment plans, and motivation to manage the symptoms of acute and chronic pain in a caring and compassionate atmosphere. We are committed to following our multidisciplinary approach, ensuring that every aspect of a patient’s well being is considered within our treatment plans. Education is a key element to our process, motivating patients to become actively involved in their pain management care. It’s important to understand the different types of pain we treat.

Our process always begins with building relationships with our patients. Over time, we find that this relationship enables our team to understand the many layers of a patient’s current state.

In addition to relationship building, Lipson Pain Institute uses our multidisciplinary approach, enabling us to diagnose and treat many of the root causes of a patient’s physical pain.
