Functional Medicine Journal

Traditionally pain management relies on an approach which often  includes pharmacological applications such as   narcotics or NSAIDs and pain modifiers such as tricyclic antidepressants or anticonvulsants.  Functional Pain Medicine (FM Pain Medicine) also focuses attention on non-pharmacologic approach by implementing interventional procedures such as physical therapy or physical exercise.

In addition FM Pain Medicine takes an analytical approach for how all components of the human biological system interact within the environment thus creating and causing chronic pain. By addressing the root cause of the situation FM Doctors are able to approach pain managment  and create Functional Pain Managements Plans which offer both  individualized & holistic treatment.
