Pain management is a specialty branch of medicine focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain. Our pain experts specialize in finding the exact cause of chronic pain and administering the most advanced and effective treatments to provide long-term pain relief and enhanced quality of life.
Pain is considered chronic if it has persisted for at least three months without signs of improvement. It can present itself in many different ways and can severely impact quality of life. Our team of specialists are clinically trained experts in diagnosing and treating virtually all chronic pain conditions.
TWIN CITIES PAIN CLINIC & SURGERY CENTER HOST FIRST ANNUAL PAIN AWARENESS 5K
To celebrate September as Pain Awareness Month, Twin Cities Pain Clinic and Surgery Center held their first annual Pain Awareness 5k. Staff members, along with their family and friends, laced up their running shoes for a fun run/walk to help the cause of raising pain awareness! Proceeds were donated to the American Chronic Pain Association.
“The purpose of this event is to bring people together to raise awareness on a subject that is easily overlooked in the healthcare industry, pain!” says Lish Thrall, Administrative Coordinator and main chairman of the events committee. “Pain management is such an important subject when we are looking at improving quality of life. It is our goal to educate and empower our patients, as well as their families, to take control of their pain – it’s truly life changing!”
The race started and finished in the parking lot of the Twin Cities Pain Clinic’s main campus in Edina. After the race, participants were invited to tour the clinic’s facilities. Representatives from leading medical device companies such as Medtronic, Nevro, Boston Scientific, and Abbott were available to share the latest ground-breaking technology in pain therapies.
