Welcome!

Welcome to Advanced Pain Care. If you, like one-third of all Americans, suffer from some sort of chronic pain, then you are almost certainly looking for ways to effectively manage your pain and to get back control of your life.

It is my sincere hope that this web site will provide useful information on the type of pain that you or a loved one may have.

We specialize in treatments for chronic pain originating in the spine and related structures. We are particularly excited about our success in treating chronic sacroiliac (S. I.) joint pain and cervical/lumbar facet joint pain with radiofrequency neurotomy. You can read more about these treatments in the Treatment Options page of this website.

In addition to spine pain, we also treat chronic headaches, arthritis, cancer pain, pain from Herpes Zoster (shingles), post-trauma pain, phantom limb pain, facial pain, musculoskeletal pain, and Complex regional pain syndrome (Reflex sympathetic dystrophy). For more information on any of these entities, simply refer to the Types of Pain page.

We have made an effort to answer Frequently Asked Questions that have been presented to us over the years. And a useful page of Links for chronic pain sufferers and their families is included. If you have a specific question about a painful condition, feel free to E-mail us. You should recieve a response from a physician within a few days.

Lastly, please take a moment to read our Mission Statement. It summarizes our philosophy of helping people to manage their chronic painful conditions.

Whether you found us at the recommendation of a friend or family member, or simply stumbled across our site, I welcome you and encourage you to write with your feedback or questions. Let us know any way in which we may improve this web site. We update periodically and encourage you to visit us again.

Good day and God bless you,

Michael Najjar, MD
