Pain Management Plans

Often the reason people are unable to control the pain is the wrong source is being treated. Overlapping structures can lead to pain in the same spot and a misdiagnosis of the source of pain. With a thorough evaluation, Dr. Selassie makes sure every effort is made to properly diagnose the source of pain.
