Capitol Pain Institute Offers Comprehensive Solutions for Chronic Pain
Chronic pain can significantly impact the quality of life, affecting mobility and emotional well-being. The Capitol Pain Institute (CPI) in Austin is addressing this issue with a comprehensive approach to pain management. Dr. Andrew Phillips recently discussed the institute’s methods for treating chronic pain, emphasizing a holistic view of patient care.
CPI’s approach to pain management involves a combination of advanced procedures, medication management, physical therapy, and behavioral health support. Dr. Phillips explains, “We look at the whole person — not just the pain.” The aim is to provide long-term relief and enhance functionality rather than merely masking symptoms with temporary solutions. The treatment plans are tailored to each individual, starting with conservative options that can be adjusted based on the patient’s response.
The institute treats a diverse array of chronic pain conditions, including sciatica, arthritis, herniated discs, and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Dr. Phillips notes, “Chronic pain is common, but it’s not something you have to live with.” CPI is also equipped to handle post-surgical pain and cases that have not responded to prior treatments.
For those who have not found relief through standard treatments, CPI offers advanced procedures. Initial treatments may include physical therapy and image-guided injections. For more persistent pain, patients can access minimally invasive procedures and advanced options such as:
– Radiofrequency ablation
– Vertebral augmentation
– Spinal cord stimulation
– Targeted drug delivery (TDD) via pain pumps
Patients do not need to have a definitive diagnosis to seek help at CPI. Dr. Phillips assures potential patients that the team will conduct a thorough evaluation during the first appointment, reviewing medical history and imaging studies. This comprehensive assessment will also explore how pain affects daily life, allowing for the development of a personalized treatment plan.
CPI operates multiple locations in the Austin area, making it accessible for those seeking help with chronic pain. For more information on services or to find the nearest location, visit CapitolPain.com.
