Beyond the Pill: A Modern Approach to Pain Management with Innovative Pain Medicine

Pain, whether it's the sharp, temporary sting of acute pain or the persistent, life-altering burden of chronic pain, affects millions. At Innovative Pain Medicine, led by specialist Dr. Usman Saleem, MD, MSPT, we understand that effective treatment goes far beyond a one-size-fits-all solution. Our personalized approach integrates the latest science to help you return to your life.

Understanding Your Pain

Pain manifests in various ways, from the musculoskeletal issues like back pain and knee pain we treat every day, to complex conditions like fibromyalgia. Recognizing the type and source of your pain is the first step toward relief.

The Power of Integrative Treatment

Modern pain management is embracing a spectrum of care:

Holistic Treatment: These methods focus on the whole person. Our integrative approach may include physical therapy to restore movement and strength, or other non-pharmacological methods tailored to your specific needs.
Neurocentric Treatments: These cutting-edge therapies target the nervous system, which is crucial in how pain signals are processed. Treatments can range from nerve blocks and spinal cord stimulation to sophisticated interventions that "retrain" the brain's response to pain, often falling under the umbrella of our advanced neurosurgery and orthopedics options. These often allow patients to avoid major surgery.

Partnering with Your Doctor for Success

Your treatment journey is a collaboration. To make the most of your time with a specialist at Innovative Pain Medicine, prospective patients may find the following helpful:

Be open and detailed about your pain history, triggers, and goals.
Ask questions about the different nonsurgical and surgical solutions available.
Discuss treatment options, such as physical therapy, and how each will fit into your daily life.
Understand that relief is a process, and commitment to your personalized plan is key.

Dr. Saleem and the team pride themselves on diversity and accessibility, welcoming patients from every walk of life and accepting most insurance, workers’ compensation, and no-fault injury cases.
