Dr. Guy Feigin

Understanding and diagnosis of pain begin, first and foremost, with recognizing the patient as a whole person, rather than as a medical problem alone. Before we begin the consultation, we will align expectations and set goals, which we will define as markers of successful treatment and strive to achieve. Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage. Chronic pain is pain that persists for more than three months, which is generally considered the time required for normal tissue healing following an injury. After assessing the problem and symptoms, the treatment plan will be decided in collaboration with the patient, tailored to the specific condition from which he or she suffers, with the goal of returning to an active lifestyle and daily routine.
