The treatment plan aims to maximizetheir personal potential and increase their functional capacity. This could include modalities such as physical therapy, minimally invasive interventional procedures, and medication management when appropriate.
Conditions treated in the Pain Management Clinic include neck and back pain, headaches, fibromyalgia, chronic pelvic pain, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), nerve damage, as well as pain associated with arthritis, sciatica, muscle spasms, shingles and more.
Dr. Sears completed medical school at the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific in Pomona, CA and an Anesthesia Pain Management Fellowship at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, VT. Dr. Sears will be joined by nurse practitioner, Leslie King, who will see patients in the clinic.
