A MODEL PAIN CENTER, IN THE HEART OF ORANGE COUNTY

Dr. Larry Ho, Medical Director

Staffed by Board Certified Pain Specialists, PainCare specializes in the treatment of neck and back pain... and much more. PainCare has put the best of spinal care, sports medicine, interventional treatments, physical medicine, decompression therapy, chiropractic adjustment and medical management altogether under one roof in the heart of Orange County.  PainCare is the facility of choice for evaluating and treating pain at its onset utilizing multidisciplinary non-surgical means to prevent acute painful conditions from progressing to debilitating chronic pain syndromes.

All PainCare physicians in addition to being Board Certified by the American Board of Pain Medicine are also Board Certified by either the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation or the American Board of Anesthesiology.  PainCare Medical Group and PainCare Surgicenter are fully accredited by both the American Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) and Center for Medicare Services.

Over the years, PainCare has become not only the facility of choice for spine and joint care in Orange County, we have also become the facility of first choice for those with acute pain ranging from neck pain, back pain, headaches, sciatica, fibromyalgia, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, shingles pain, joint pain, and osteoarthritis to sports-related injuries.  PainCare's coordinated treatments and outstanding service record make us the fast, safe and effective choice for those with either acute or chronic pain.

Even as our doctors are staff members at the best hospitals in Orange County and work closely with many of the primary care physicians, medical specialists and surgeons in the area, PainCare Medical Group is not committed to any hospital, surgeon, pharmacy, drug company, consulting firm or medical products company.   We serve our patients' interests only and are not encumbered by any outside third party relationship.

BEATING LOWER BACK PAIN - WITHOUT SURGERY

Study Shows That Patients Get Same Benefits Regardless of Whether or Not They Choose the Knife - By C. J. KARALAKULASINGAM, ABC Medical News

Patients suffering from lower back pain could get the same benefits in pain relief and function from nonsurgical treatment as from back surgery, a new study shows.

Low back pain is one of the most common complaints doctors hear from their patients, but choosing the best treatment has long been a mystery. New research in The Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that patients who opt for nonsurgical treatments can get the same benefits in pain reduction and function in the long term as those who chose surgery.

"This confirms what we already know about [back pain]," says Dr. William Richardson, an orthopedic surgeon at Duke University Medical Center. "Patients get better quicker with surgery, but long-term results are no different."
