Practice Overview

Have you ever wished that all your medical care providers could talk to one another about your condition, be aware of how your medications interact, and plan the best route to your recovery? The description for this concept is known as "Integrated Medicine". At Meridian Health Group, the integrated treatment approach has helped many patients who experience pain beyond the usual length of healing time.

As a freestanding, multidisciplinary facility for pain care, the following specialties may be integrated into treatment plans:

When more than one provider is involved with a patient's treatment, every effort is made to schedule the appointments concurrently, for maximum convenience to the patient.

This medical model prides itself on accurate diagnosis (es). In order to facilitate the diagnostic process, X-Ray and Laboratory services are also offered on site. As technology brings new possibilities to patients for treatment options, these products are monitored for effectiveness, and incorporated into the facility as deemed appropriate. As an example, the advent of the electronic medical records system now allows providers to enter the progress notes at the time a patient is being seen. If a patient is scheduled first with the physical therapist and second with the pain psychologist, the pain psychologist may know exactly how the patient presented to the physical therapist. This moves the treatment process along very effectively.

Something different happens when a patient experiences the synergistic effect of having all the appropriate providers involved with their care. When it comes to defining the difference between this facility and other pain care facilities, it is this synergistic effect. We invite you to compare this offering of specialties to others in the area and choose the one that offers you the best possible benefit to your overall health.

We look forward to helping you!
