Patient Care with Pain Management The Florida Spine Center philosophy of patient care is to provide you with pain management for: the relief of suffering, health and fitness guidance, improving your quality of life, and therapy for maintaining an active lifestyle.  Our all-encompassing approach to pain management is successful due to the way we individually treat each patient’s specific needs.  We do not just treat the symptoms of pain, we also care for each patient as an individual.  We meet with our patients and take the time to learn about each person’s medical history, current symptoms, health, lifestyle and goals for the future.  We analyze all information gathered from our discussions and formulate a strategic plan of action for each patient.  The strategic plan of care is refined and tailored to meet each individual’s pain management needs, lifestyle and future goals. There are many ways the Florida Spine Center can treat physical pain.  Our method of health care is comprehensive.  In addition to treating the symptoms of physical pain, we address the causes of many physical problems.  We work with each patient to promote self healing through a combination of: massage, physical therapy, improved eating, sleeping and exercise habits.  Our qualified staff provides many non-surgical treatment options for the management of pain.  Our patients utilize many different types of therapies for pain relief such as: ESI (Epidural Steroid Injection), Facet (Cortisone) Joint Injection, Botox, Nerve Root Blocks, and Trigger Point Injections to meet specific pain management needs.  However, we also develop individual plans of care for our patients that may or may not include injections, medications, myofascial release, acupuncture and more. Some physicians do not prescribe drugs or perform surgery.  If we feel a patient's condition is outside the scope of our pain management practice, we  will refer that individual to the appropriate health care specialist.
