3 Tips for Finding the Best Pain Clinic in Arizona

You start each day with apprehension — will your pain, once again, hijack your day or will it lurk somewhere in the background? Either way, the situation isn’t great and your pain is fast becoming the center of your universe.

The prevalence of chronic pain in the United States is substantial — more than 1 in 5 Americans struggles with chronic pain and more than 17 million people experience high-impact pain, which is pain that affects their ability to function normally.

What all of these people have in common is that they want relief from their pain so that they can enjoy life again. If you find yourself in this boat and live in Arizona, the team here at Apex Pain Specialists wants to help. Our team, led by Dr. Maziar Massrour and Dr. Naveen Reddy, have made it their mission to help patients overcome acute and chronic pain of every kind, and we’ve learned over the years what makes a good pain management practice great.

1. A clinic that treats each patient individually

While the number of people who are in pain is large, you don’t want to be just another number. Each patient experiences pain in their own way and the discomfort impacts their lives differently.

When we meet a new patient, we sit down to not only review what’s ailing them, but how the pain is impacting their lives. Are you a grandparent who just wants to pick up their grandchild without pain? Are you a runner who’s been sidelined by bad knees?

Your situation and goals are important pieces of the pain management puzzle and we want to meet you where you are and come up with a pain management plan that caters to your unique needs and goals.

2. Look for training and experience

It’s also important you have confidence in your pain management team. Our providers hold degrees that are specific to pain management and anesthesiology, which means their schooling and training focused on these areas.

Additionally, both Dr. Reddy and Dr. Massrour are board-certified in pain medicine. If you’re wondering what this means, the American Board of Medical Specialties defines board certification as a way of showing that your doctor has, “The knowledge and skills needed to provide safe and effective care in a specific area of medicine.”

While education and  board certification are certainly great foundations, experience matters just as much. And the doctors at our pain clinic have this in spades — Dr. Massrour and Dr. Reddy have a combined experience of about 50 years and counting in the pain management field.

3. A range of pain management options is best

When you’re choosing  a pain clinic, you want one that offers a wide range of solutions. Getting back to our first point, no two patients are alike and we recognize that. 

For example, one patient with joint pain might respond very well to corticosteroid injections while another might prefer a more sustainable solution like regenerative medicine. And we offer both here at Apex Pain Specialists.

In fact, we offer an incredibly wide range of pain management options, from interventional injections to neuromodulation and everything in between. From head to toe, we’ve got your pain management needs covered.

The bottom line is that if you’re in pain, you want to find an experienced, compassionate, and skilled team that will work tirelessly to help you find relief. Such a team can be found at Apex Pain Specialists.
