Imagine Life Without Chronic Pain
About Us
Advanced Musculoskeletal Medicine Consultants
Many of the patients who are referred to Advanced Musculoskeletal Medicine Consultants (AMMC) come to us after going from one health care provider to another and trying a range of traditional methods without relief from chronic musculoskeletal pain. It’s not uncommon for our patients to have heard, “Nothing more can be done” or “you’ll just have to live with it.” We understand your frustration and eagerness to find the relief needed to improve your life.
Musculoskeletal pain in joints, muscles, fascia, tendons and nerves can arise from scar formation secondary to prior injury, repetitive trauma, prior surgery, abnormal biomechanics and/or inflammation. The pain can also be perpetuated by disharmony in many different aspects of day-to-day life including stress, sleep, nutrition and activity to name a few. Combining traditional and complimentary medicine treatments addresses all of the underlying causes resulting in a more permanent resolution of pain.

8 Tenets of Integrative Medicine
- Patient and practitioner are partners in the healing process
- All factors that influence health, wellness, and disease are taken into consideration including mind, spirit, and community as well as body.
- Appropriate use of both conventional and alternative methods facilitates the body’s innate healing response.
- Effective interventions that are natural and less invasive should be used whenever possible.
- Integrative medicine neither rejects conventional medicine nor accepts alternative therapies uncritically.
- Good medicine is based on good science. It is inquiry-driven and open to new paradigms.
- Alongside the concept of treatment, the broader concepts of health promotion and the prevention of illness are paramount.
- Practitioners of integrative medicine should exemplify its principles and commit their lives to self-exploration and self-development.
