Integrative Pain Management

Pain management had its birth in anesthesiology, the medical discipline that relieves pain during surgery. Today, pain management is a subspecialty of anesthesiology where anesthesiology pain practitioners provide consultations and care for a wide variety of acute, chronic and cancer-related pain problems.

Integrative medicine is a relatively new term that implies a holistic approach to healthcare. It is based upon, and strongly embraces, the osteopathic and naturopathic concept that we possess a self-regulating, self-healing system that gives us a natural tendency toward healing.  The human body has within itself – within certain limits – the capacity for repair and adaptation.  As Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of osteopathy, suggests, “Within our body is a capacity for health.  If this capacity is recognized and normalized, disease can be both prevented and treated.”

Integrated medicine pain management is a total patient-care philosophy incorporating conventional pain management techniques with alternative and complementary therapies for the relief of pain, the promotion of health and well being.

The Integrative Health Network

Because a single practitioner is not a specialist in nor able to provide, all possible pain related treatments, the Integrative Health Network has been formed.  This is a collaborative effort organized by the KishHealth System Department of Anesthesiology Pain Clinics to provide you with easy access to various integrative medicine practitioners involved in the multiple aspects of the assessment and treatment of pain.  With this arrangement we can offer a variety of treatment techniques and modalities.
