Center
Philosophy
The philosophy of the
NorthBay Center for Pain Management staff is a simple one: Pain Is What
The Patient Says It Is.
Many people with chronic
pain know the frustration of feeling like no one understands what they
are going through, or worse, that no one believes them. The staff of the
NorthBay Center for Pain Management knows that we all perceive pain
differently and the patient’s experience of pain is respected at all
times.
Treatment decisions are
based on close communication with the patient and the patient’s
assessment of his or her progress.
