Pain Management

Our comprehensive pain management program addresses chronic pain through personalized treatment plans combining medical interventions and holistic approaches. We specialize in identifying pain sources and implementing targeted treatment strategies that include medication management, behavioral modification, and physical rehabilitation. With a focus on restoring functionality, our approach helps patients reduce pain levels and improve quality of life through evidence-based practices.

Physical Therapy

Customized physical therapy programs help patients regain mobility and reduce pain through targeted exercises and therapeutic techniques. Our therapists work closely with pain specialists to develop treatment plans that address specific musculoskeletal issues while considering each patient's overall health condition. This integrative approach promotes long-term recovery and pain reduction through structured rehabilitation programs.

Acupuncture

We incorporate acupuncture as a complementary treatment for pain management, using traditional Chinese medicine techniques to alleviate chronic pain symptoms. This non-invasive approach works synergistically with other medical treatments to provide holistic pain relief by stimulating specific points on the body to release natural painkillers and improve energy flow.

Injections

Targeted injection therapies deliver medication directly to pain sources for rapid relief of specific conditions like nerve pain and joint inflammation. Our specialists use advanced techniques to administer these treatments safely and effectively, often combining them with other therapeutic approaches for comprehensive pain management solutions that address both immediate symptoms and underlying causes.

Aquatic Rehabilitation

Our aquatic rehabilitation program utilizes water's therapeutic properties to facilitate gentle, low-impact exercise for pain relief and mobility improvement. This specialized therapy helps patients build strength and flexibility while minimizing stress on painful joints and muscles, making it particularly effective for certain chronic pain conditions and post-injury recovery.

Dr Frey and his staff are the most thorough and compassionate people.. To have consistent pain drains one of their life force at times. It is a very dark place to be. These people understand that and do their level best to help. I would recommend them to anyone. especially those who want to remain active. Im very grateful.

Well love Dr. Frey, he is a very good and understanding Dr but his staff (Jackie) needs to learn her manners and learn to talk to people the right way! She can make you feel really dumb! She basically needs to learn people skills! I have been seeing this Dr and his assistance for years but this girl makes you not wanna go! So sad!

This place needs to get their billing together. I paid my account twice by accident (June and August 2017) and was credited for the over payment. Then find out I've been referred to a collection agency in Oct 2017. When I called Dr Frey's office I'm told they have no record of it but to call their billing company to confirm which I did. After a review of my credit report yesterday I find that I have a collections account from AWA Collections for the $275.00. I called today and was told it's Dr. Frey. Seriously?? I'm now being told to call their billing company, Larsen Billing and am sent to voicemail

DR Frey is one of the best DR.s , I've ever seen, He is the only DR to do neck injection's that work. If you have had problem's with his staff just tell him. He was the most strict DR I've ever seen about med's he doesn't put up with no B.S. I would recommend him to anyone .

I have Platinum Blue Cross, the best plan you can purchase on the market and the process this office has put me thru to have an epidural procedure
is simply the worst medical episode I have ever experienced in my life. It has been 10 days processing paperwork and i was told today it would be another week to get in to see the Doctor for a consultation. If your in pain, I would consider another resource.
