Southern Michigan Pain Consultants team extends beyond our physicians.  Our other providers consist of a Nurse Practitioner and  Physician's Assistant that are available to help manage your treatment between visits with the physician. To put it simply, they are able to provide your doctor with another view of who you are as a patient and keep track of how you are responding to your pain management program..
Our Physical Therapy and Behavioral Medicine providers also work closely with our pain physicians to make sure that each patient has a program that will bring them the best success with reducing their pain level and frequency.
