Paulding County Hospital has opened a balanced pain management center at the hospital.\u00a0 Paulding Pain Management Center will diagnose acute and chronic pain and create individualized treatment plans for patients based on a number of considerations, including the cause and ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/PCH-Buonocore.jpg?resize=149%2C206\")
level of pain. Diagnoses treated at the center include neck and back pain, headaches, fibromyalgia, chronic pelvic pain, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), nerve damage, as well as pain associated with arthritis, muscle spasms and shingles.<\/p>\n
The center will be staffed by Dr. John Buonocore, a board certified and fellowship trained pain management specialist. Dr. Buonocore was fellowship trained in pain medicine at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.\u00a0 He completed his residency at St Vincent\u2019s Hospital and Medical Center in New York.<\/p>\n
Paulding Pain Management Center is committed to patients for the life of their pain and compliance with their care plans. The center establishes an agreement with the patient that holds him or her accountable to using only one pharmacy and one prescribing physician, keeping medications safe from loss or theft, and complying to pill counts and urine drug testing.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople who have acute or chronic pain that is preventing them from living their normal life may be a good candidate for this program,\u201d says Dr. Buonocore.\u00a0 \u201cWe offer some of the most advanced treatments available today for pain management. These treatments are more tolerable and less invasive than in the past,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a significant need for this type of service in our community,\u201d says Randy Ruge, CEO of Paulding County Hospital. \u201cWe are very pleased to provide local, safe and effective pain treatment to patients and their primary care physicians. The last thing these patients need is to travel long distances for treatment when they\u2019re already in pain.\u201d<\/p>\n
