pain management center
Woodland Anesthesiology Associates
Pain Management Center, the largest of its kind in Central Connecticut, offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to treating patients with chronic pain. Our team of board-certified anesthesiologists with subspecialties in pain management is dedicated to bringing the most current therapies to the relief of patients who suffer from pain. We draw from a wealth of knowledge gained from over 30 years of evidence based practice. Together, we have raised the bar on the standard of care to a new level. Our specialists offer a wide range of individualized treatment modalities and state of the art techniques tailored to each patient’s specific needs. Our providers offer inpatient and outpatient treatments for patients with acute and chronic pain to help alleviate their suffering and enhance patients lives and their daily life activities. Our expert team delivers top rated patient-focused care with unparalleled record of patient safety and satisfaction.
At our facilities which comprise the longest-running Pain Center in Connecticut, we understand that persistent pain debilitates and ultimately destroys an individual’s quality of life. Our in-depth approach is committed to treatment programs tailored to individual cases. Each patient first receives an evaluation and diagnosis. A treatment plan is then formulated and implemented after discussions with the patient and referring physician. Treatments include the use of the latest technologies and techniques, and will often involve collaboration with experts in neurology, oncology, physical therapy, pharmacology and psychiatry to ensure all aspects of the pain are addressed.
