Avance Medical Pain Service is dedicated to turning the focus back towards pain patients.  We take the time to listen, to consider all factors that impact your ability to function in the world, and then treat you without fear. We work within a ‘shared decision making’ model, where collaboration with patients and their families is paramount.

Though our primary intervention is the use of state of the art pharmacology, we also utilize joint and trigger point injections for musculoskeletal pain, and botox injections for migraine.  We collaborate closely with Avance Psychiatry which specializes in psychotherapeutic techniques for pain treatment.
