We strongly advise against purchasing any Chronic Pain medication illegally - you are taking a serious health risk as well as a risk with the law. Someone who is not a medically trained professional may not be able to distinguish between various drug interactions and psychiatric symptoms, mental health and medical conditions. The most effective and most thorough evaluations, diagnosis, counseling and treatment planning for psychiatric disorders are done by licensed physicians or psychiatrists with special medical training. Vendors who are not medically trained may not fully understand how psychiatric conditions, especially psychiatric conditions that remain undiagnosed and untreated, may adversely affect one's medical health - they are most often interested only in your money and not your health. If you are self medicating you should come in and see our doctor - do it the safe way and save yourself from future legal problems and health risks.

All of our doctors are licensed by the Medical Board of California.

What is Chronic Pain?

You know it at once. It may be the fiery sensation of a burn moments after your finger touches the stove. Or it's a dull ache above your brow after a day of stress and tension. Or you may recognize it as a sharp pierce in your back after you lift something heavy.

It is pain. In its most benign form, it warns us that something isn't quite right, that we should take treatment or see a doctor. At its worst, however, pain robs us of our productivity, our well-being, and, for many of us suffering from extended illness, our very lives. Pain is a complex perception that differs enormously among individual patients, even those who appear to have identical injuries or illnesses.

Chronic Pain is a constant pain that can last from a few months to many years. This relentless problem causes severe pain, sleep deprivation and even depression if it persists for a long period of time. Pain can be caused by injuries, types of diseases or weak bones and muscles. For instance, a common central nervous system disorder that causes great pain through the body is Fibromyalgia. Anyone can have chronic pain, but it is most common in middle-aged to older adults.

Chronic pain has several different meanings. Traditionally, the distinction between acute and chronic pain has relied upon an arbitrary interval of time from onset; the two most commonly used markers being 3 months and 6 months since the initiation of pain, though some theorists and researchers have placed the transition from acute to chronic pain at 12 months. Others apply acute to pain that lasts less than 30 days, chronic to pain of more than six months duration, and subacute to pain that lasts from one to six months. A popular alternative definition of chronic pain, involving no arbitrarily fixed durations is "pain that extends beyond the expected period of healing."

Generally, treatments try either to stop the transmission of pain from the site of injury or to affect the brain directly.

The effects of pain treatments are different for different people. Also, the tolerance of pain varies greatly from one person to another.

For this reason, one solution will not be right for everyone with the same injury. For example, some people are quite happy with an over-the-counter treatment for an ankle sprain, while others will need a more powerful prescription pain reliever. The right pain treatment depends on the person experiencing the pain, not on the condition that is causing the pain.

The goal of pain management is to improve function, enabling individuals to work, attend school, or participate in other day-to-day activities. Patients and their physicians have a number of options for the treatment of pain; some are more effective than others. Sometimes, relaxation and the use of imagery as a distraction provide relief. These methods can be powerful and effective, according to those who advocate their use. Whatever the treatment regime, it is important to remember that pain is treatable

Chronic Pain Program

Living with chronic pain is very difficult, and people who suffer from chronic pain know how it can disrupt and damage their lives. It can make it difficult to enjoy even the simplest daily activities. At One Care we understand that treating chronic pain means healing both the mind and the body. We believe in the use of medical and psychological treatment for chronic pain management. This treatment includes a thorough examination and evaluation of your physical and psychological conditions.

Our Chronic Pain Program is led by physicians who specialize in treating patients who are compromised by pain and who have been unable to manage this pain without the help of other available treatments.

Treatment is determined on an individualized basis, as no two patients present with identical pain issues. An effective evaluation of an individual with chronic pain and coexisting disorders, including problems with capsules, requires a multidisciplinary team approach. Using a multidisciplinary team is crucial in treating the problems patients and their families’ face who have been severely impacted by chronic pain and other psychological and medical disorders. At times substance dependence or addiction can be caused by the misuse of chronic pain opiate treatments.

Our chronic pain doctors understand that the best treatment for you requires them to utilize appropriate treatments as indicated by your history and present symptoms. Our doctors also believe it is imperative to work together with you to create the most successful individualized treatment plan so that when you leave you have the best chances of recovery.

Pain Management Program Goals:

* Obtain a thorough evaluation to define the physical components of pain
* Increase control of pain and decrease disability associated with pain
* Teach alternative ways to improve daily functioning
* Address psychological issues related to chronic pain, such as anxiety, depression and sleep problems
* Evaluate for substance dependence, chemical dependency or substance abuse


* Reduce dependence on alcohol etc. for pain relief

Chronic Pain Relates to Emotional Trauma

Trauma and pain may seem to be unrelated. What you may not realize, however, is that these two disturbances can occur at the same time, as a result of the same incident. Car crashes can cause both trauma and pain

A car crash is one example in which pain and trauma often occur together. Numerous problems can arise in an accident. The first complication that often comes to mind is that of injury or pain. When a car is in an accident, its passengers often sustain an injury or experience pain. Because car crashes are unexpected and often frightening, trauma can also occur. It is important to realize that your psychological state (trauma) can effect your physical state (pain).

In virtually every type of trauma, physical pain can occur. It does not matter whether the traumatic event is deliberate or accidental, natural or man-made, both pain and trauma can occur.

Traumatic events are emotionally draining experiences and chronic pain can put a major strain on your life. Such experiences make even the simplest of projects a hassle, causing sadness and depression. Here we recognize this dilemma and seek to help you overcome this violation of your emotional and physical well-being.

Every experience is different, and every person reacts differently. Some people suffer from a car crash or some form of a natural disaster, while others struggle with the death of a loved one or previous abuse. By incorporating our holistic approach to healing, in a beautiful surrounding, our staff will address each individual aspect of your life.
