Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Pain: Your healthcare providers need to work in coordination w/one another. Please make sure they communicate. Also consider behavioral interventions such as biofeedback or clinical hypnosis (www.asch.net) as long as you have a proper diagnosis and providers are ok w/it. Peace and good health.
