Chronic Pain Management

The treatment of chronic pain requires experience, patience and understanding of the patient subjected to intractable pain. David Dallmeyer has been involved with the Santa Barbara Arthritis Foundation for over twenty years and was a member of one of the original committees for the treatment of chronic pain. Our team approach to pain management encourages the individual to participate in a comprehensive program that often results in an unexpected level of activity and optimism for the future. The unique "slow healing" program advances the patient through increasingly challenging phases that expand treatment and exercise choices.

• The exercise program with our gym staff is highly individualized and is focused on the specific needs of the chronic pain patient.
• The caring attitude within the facility allows those in chronic pain to feel comfortable and encouraged about the possibility of progress.
• Advanced soft tissue techniques provide relief that no other procedures achieve
• Gym-only memberships available as treatment phase winds down
• Home exercise videotapes and booklets provided

• Integration with medical and dental resources provide complete team approach
