Patients suffering from chronic pain, defined as pain lasting longer than 3 months, often feel misunderstood and commonly experience discrimination from family members, friends and even members of the medical community. This is due to the mostly inexplicable and illusive nature of chronic pain that is a complex combination of nerve signals generated by physical damage (nociceptive pain), nerve signals from nerve disease or disorders (neuropathic pain), and finally the interpretation of those signals by the brain. However, there are no impartial means to validate the existence of these pain signals or the severity of those signals experienced by each patient. Our mission at Advanced Pain Diagnostic & Solutions is to definitively diagnose the source of chronic pain and to provide an evolving course of treatment that maximizes pain relief through the active participation of patients in his/her own therapy with the lowest possible dose of opioid pain relievers. We will provide these healthcare services by developing and fostering mutual respect between our patients and staff, which is intended to ensure mutual accountability and integrity throughout the delivery of care.
