“Many of our patients suffer from chronic headaches,” said Dr. Cronen, a member of the NHF. “At The Pain Institute, we provide patients with a complete approach. We conduct a total evaluation and customize each patient’s treatment. This may include a combination of medical management and physical therapy or massage therapy, depending on the patient’s needs. We have two board-certified anesthesiologists who can use the latest advances in pain management, as well as an experienced, certified physical therapist and massage therapist. In many cases, we can eliminate headaches from a patient’s life,” he said.
