Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with a detailed physical, neurological, and psychiatric assessment to understand your unique pain profile, history, and contributing factors.
Chronic Pain
Restoring Relief, Reclaiming Your Life
Chronic pain isn’t just a physical condition—it impacts how you think, feel, and engage with the world around you. Living with ongoing pain can drain your energy, disrupt your sleep, cloud your thinking, and create a sense of helplessness or isolation. Over time, it can erode your quality of life and your sense of who you are.
At VASAV, we believe that pain is not your identity—it’s a signal, a message from the nervous system that has become stuck in overdrive. Our core philosophy is that pain can be understood, managed, and transformed. You can learn to feel safer in your body again, regain clarity, and reconnect with the parts of your life that bring meaning and joy.
"Chronic pain" refers to pain that lasts for months or even years, often persisting beyond the usual course of healing. It may be due to a known medical condition, past injury, or sometimes no identifiable physical cause. In all cases, chronic pain is real and deserves thoughtful, evidence-based treatment. We take a brain-body approach to care—acknowledging both the biological and emotional dimensions of your pain experience.
We are proud to offer Nexstim Navigated TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)—a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared treatment that targets specific brain regions involved in pain processing and modulation. With the right treatment plan, chronic pain can become manageable, and relief is within reach.
Our Approach to Treating Chronic Pain with Nexstim TMS
-
-
Precision-Guided Brain Stimulation (Nexstim TMS): Using advanced MRI-guided navigation, Nexstim TMS delivers focused magnetic pulses to pain-related brain areas, such as the motor cortex. This can help “reset” dysfunctional pain circuits, reducing intensity and improving quality of life. It is non-invasive, non-sedating, and well-tolerated by most patients.
-
Medication Optimization (if needed): We work collaboratively to review and adjust your medications to reduce dependency on opioids or sedatives and promote long-term functional recovery.
-
Psychotherapy for Pain Resilience: We offer supportive therapies that address the emotional impact of chronic pain—reducing stress, improving coping, and helping you reconnect with a sense of purpose and control.
-
Mind-Body Integration: When appropriate, we incorporate mindfulness, biofeedback, and cognitive behavioral therapy to help retrain the brain’s pain response and improve your overall well-being.
-
Family Education and Support: We support loved ones in understanding the chronic pain experience, so they can participate meaningfully in your healing process and provide informed encouragement.
At VASAV, we see the whole person—not just the pain. Our approach is grounded in compassion, neuroscience, and a deep commitment to helping you move from surviving to thriving. Chronic pain may be part of your story, but it doesn’t have to define your future.
