About

At the Advocate Lutheran General Interventional Pain Management Center, we provide our patients with the support and treatment necessary to manage their pain using a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach. Pain can be acute or chronic, mild to severe, and sometimes self-limiting. However, when pain persists after the normal healing process, and begins to become a part of life it can impact your quality of life. 


Our mission is to provide the highest quality care to all patients. We pride ourselves in diagnosing and treating all pain conditions. Using various interventional options for the treatment of both acute and chronic pain, our goal is to help you improve daily function and better manage pain. We work closely with your other doctors to come up with a comprehensive plan to manage pain and determine the root cause of pain, potentially allowing for a cure. Our physicians are experts in interventional pain management techniques as well as conservative management strategies and will serve as pain medicine team leaders, coordinating complete pain care among various pain and rehabilitation specialists, including pain psychologists, occupational and physical therapists, and alternative medicine providers. We understand that not all pain can be cured with interventional therapies, but we believe that the majority of pain can be managed through appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
