When your doctor is also a chronic pain patient Have you ever wished you had a doctor who really understood your pain? It’s extremely rare to find a pain medicine physician who is also a chronic pain patient. As a patient, our medical director, Christopher Frandrup, MD, has undergone many of the same procedures he performs on his patients. He knows what it’s like to go from being incapacitated by pain to enjoying your life again. That’s what he’s done both during and after his military service for wounded American soldiers in 86 countries. That’s what he wants for each of his patients. A more compassionate, patient-focused approach His personal experience with pain and our pain management doctors’ combined experience caring for people in pain have taught us to take a more compassionate, holistic approach to treatment. We don’t believe in simply writing a prescription or giving you an injection and sending you on your way. Instead, we focus on integrating pain medicine, addiction-free treatment options and the psychological impact of chronic pain into your care. Our mission is restoring your ability to function and your passion for life. As a patient, you will have the opportunity to fully explain your condition, history and symptoms – whether lower back pain or neck pain, spinal stenosis, diabetic neuropathy or fibromyalgia symptoms – and then have ongoing conversations with our doctors as you progress through treatment. In our experience, too many pain practices avoid dealing with mental health issues. And too many pain patients receive fragmented care, not to mention the inconvenience of being bounced from one specialist to another, often without relief. Simply put, the doctors at Allpria Healthcare want to change that so you get all the care you need, not just a small part of it. General information: 10700 E.
