Rockford Pain Management is a busy multidisciplinary medical clinic which services an adult patient base suffering from acute and chronic pain. Our clinic has a large volume of older patients with conditions such as knee arthritis, spinal pain, and balance/coordination issues secondary to neuropathy. However, even though our patient demographic is skewed to 60 , we are a full-service physical therapy provider and have a current staff of a lead physical therapist and 3 physical therapy assistants. The clinic also employs a neurologist, pain management physician, and a chiropractor. Many cases will be co-managed by multiple providers, including the physical therapist. We believe this team approach to care is a vital part of the care of the patient.
