The Physicians of the Pain Specialists of Greater
Chicago
Many physicians, specialties, and other practitioners
claim to treat pain. Only a few specialize in interventional pain
management exclusively. The physicians at the Pain Specialists of
Greater Chicago have dedicated their careers to the comprehensive
and minimally invasive treatment of pain. Whenever possible, conservative
and non-invasive treatment is utilized for pain. For individuals
who do not respond to conservative treatment or who cannot tolerate
their pain they offer most modern and advanced minimally invasive
techniques to treat painful symptoms safely and effectively. They
approach each individual and their pain with one goal in mind -
to reduce their symptoms and to improve their quality of life. As
these goals are accomplished, they work closely with the spinal
specialists in physical therapy and rehabilitation to maximize the
beneficial results of treatment and restore function and vitality.
For those individuals injured on the job, the treatments and therapy
are geared to control the pain as quickly as possible to allow the
patient to return to work when they are ready- and to avoid future
flare ups of their symptoms.
Dr. Glaser and Dr. Goodman founded the Pain Specialists
of Greater Chicago in 2001. They are acknowledged as leaders in
field of interventional pain management because of their commitment
to their patients as well as their commitment to excellence in this
new and vitally important specialty.
