After a decade searching for treatment for his chronic pain, Brad finally found the help he needed at the Shirley Ryan 香港六合彩即时开奖 Pain Management Center (PMC).
I’m back to being active, I’m back to working out every day, I’m back to doing things outside, back to driving. Things I thought I would never do again, I’m now doing.

With a combination of physical therapy, occupational therapy, biofeedback and more, the PMC helped Brad overcome his obstacles with pain.
“What’s unique about the PMC is their interdisciplinary approach. They tailor the program for your specific interests, your specific injuries, and get you on track,” he said. “The physical therapy, the occupational therapy, all those things come into play in concert with each other."

“I manage the pain on my own,” Brad said. “I’m back to being active, I’m back to working out every day, I’m back to doing things outside, back to driving. Things I thought I would never do again, I’m now doing.”
