At ITAV we use a multimodal approach to management of pain. We know that pain is challenging to the patient and we know that the patient would not be in our clinic seeking help unless the pain has significantly impacted their life. With this in mind we seek various ways to manage the pain knowing well that time and research has taught us that chronic relief and improved function is seen by using various techniques and not just one modality. To this end we incorporate use of the following modalities:

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." - 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NKJV)
