Our Approach to Pain Management

Successfully treating your pain requires several different diagnostic and treatment methods which are conveniently available at Pareja Medical Center in Chicago. We have extensive training in the interpretation of all the information that we gather from your body and have formulated the finest treatment protocols to treat your pain. Typically, our patients improve significantly and rapidly in most of the conditions they experience. Pain management is not solely the field of chiropractors, hospital surgery rooms or powerful drugs. Medical doctors treat pain from the vantage point of their specialty while complementing the treatment with other modalities that cannot be performed by chiropractic treatment alone. Some practitioners rely primarily on drugs and steroids while others only treat naturally.

At Pareja Medical Center, our providers work carefully at diagnosing your problem and then implement our integrated treatment methods to your individual needs so that you receive the results you have been searching for.

Different Kinds of Pain

There are many types and causes of pain as well as levels of severity that you may be experiencing. Acute pain (pain or sickness that you have experienced for 6 months or less) is often circumstantial and can usually be addressed. Conversely, chronic pain is the type of pain that you have been coping with for a while, maybe even "become used to" and feel that it is just a part of your life by now. This takes more time to properly diagnose and treat. Once we have done complete diagnostic testing on you, we formulate a longer-range pain management plan to bring you out of chronic pain and sickness. We have seen significant success in treating a wide range of chronic pain and disease. To name a few:

-Minor cough to severe allergic asthma
-Headache to severe migraines
-Feeling "down" or moody to severe depression
-Minor upset stomach to severe constipation

We are most satisfied when we have provided you with clear answers to the root cause of your pain and have helped guide you back to a state of health while at the same time Empowering You to be Healthy!

Dr. Pareja himself recovered from rheumatoid arthritis after many years of drug treatment that did not help him. See here for some stories about the growing number of people who are getting their health back.

Pain Management Treatments

All pain management therapies are specifically tailored to your particular needs. We use various methods of testing your body to properly diagnose your real issues and then use this information to formulate a treatment plan designed just for you. Pareja Medical Center's pain management system employs a combination of modalities, such as:

* Injections for pain
* Acupuncture
* Acupuncture with electrical stimulation
* Massage
* Lymphatic Drainage
* Detoxification
* I.V. therapy
* Nutritional supplementation
* Ultrasound Guided Injections
* And many other non-surgery options designed to take away your pain allowing you to enjoy your life like you deserve to.

At Pareja Medical Center, we also understand that more serious methods of treatment, such as surgery, are needed. If you need this type of treatment, Pareja Medical Center’s physicians will refer you to the proper specialist, or your primary care provider, and work closely with him or her to monitor your progress.
