”I think this office should be a nationwide model for how a pain clinic should be run.”
Along with Dr. omas-King's care, Aymie also appreciated the physical therapists' eorts. “ ey would not only explain how exercises should be done, but would sit down and show me how they should be done, then watch my technique and posture and explain whether I was doing them correctly.” Lasting relief from pain When she started treatment, Aymie estimated her pain at a 9 level; now, level 4 pain is a bad day. “I have more good days than bad.” Aymie says her own experiences with pain and treatment have enabled her to enlighten other patients who come to the clinic. “I always try to be positive and encouraging to patients and let them know that I have (pain) conditions and that I can share my experiences with them.” She recalls her own experience as a new patient, with an initial fear of receiving injections, “until they explained that the pain would be nothing worse than a mosquito bite.
“ e doctors and sta is here are very knowledgeable and compassionate. ey are very big on educating as patients and employees and letting us know ourselves heal and get stronger. I think this oce should be a nationwide model for how a pain treatment clinic should be run.”
