Overview

Cyril Pain Clinic is a comprehensive, full time pain medicine clinic committed to providing state of the art care to our patients.

We pride ourselves on our ability to offer a myriad of treatment options from consultations, medication management, up to and including implantable treatment modalities for even the most difficult patient. At the same time, we steadfastly believe and adhere to a multidisciplinary approach that involves various healthcare providers including neurologists, psychologists, orthopedic and spine surgeons, physiatrists, oncologists, and psychiatrists to optimally coordinate the care of our patients.

This model continues to persevere as the ideal that has consistently been shown to provide maximum results for the patient and improvement in outcome.

Use as little medication as possible:
Expecting medications alone to solve all chronic pain problems is unrealistic. "Pain killers" may temporarily help control pain, but they are not a cure and long term may have undesirable side effects. In the course of treatment, short- term narcotic therapy may be necessary and will be monitored and optimized as treatment progresses. Fortunately there are many medications available that have proven effective in pain management that are not habit forming.

Keep fit:
Regular physical exercise can help avoid injury and contribute to your physical and mental well-being. Therapy and home exercise may be recommended as part of a pain control and pain prevention program. A good diet, regular exercise, avoidance of tobacco and normalization of poor sleep patterns will help reduce stress and lessen pain symptoms.

Stay active:
It is important to maintain activity, although you may need to avoid some activities entirely or do things a little differently to work around your pain. Focus on what you can achieve. Set realistic goals and follow your personal treatment plan.
