INTEGRATED
PAIN TREATMENT is defined as a “MEDICAL SPECIALTY ACCESS GUIDE” for patients who are experiencing
pain caused by a disease or an injury; a knowledge of this guide would help them in the early detection of the cause and severity of their condition; an understanding of the “
pain treatment integration” of a Primary Care Physician (PCP), a Physical Therapist /Doctor Of Physical Therapy (DPT), a Physiatrist (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) and a Surgeon (When Necessary) would help patients minimize, if not shorten the period of their
pain suffering and help them maximize their physical recovery from the injury (Copyright

Pain Treatment. He also created the medical specialty access guide.
