Pain Management Services and Treatments in Chicago, IL
Our Services and Treatments in Chicago
At Gateway Spine & Pain Physicians, we believe in an interdisciplinary, team approach to treating pain. After a thorough evaluation, the patient and physician work together to develop a treatment plan. No two patients are exactly alike, and thus, each patient receives a personalized treatment plan depending on the probable diagnosis. Diagnostic studies such as MRI, CT scan, X-rays, and EMG/NCV tests may be recommended. Treatments may include counseling, physical therapy, medications, and advanced interventional techniques. We consider the patient an active part of the treatment team.
