About North Lakes Pain Consultants

To a person in pain, there is no greater moment than when they first begin to experience relief. At North Lakes Pain Consultants, we are committed to providing individualized evaluation and treatment for painful conditions.

Using physical therapy, medication, surgical intervention, and state-of-the-art minimally invasive and non-invasive pain management techniques, we provide relief for our patients with an eye toward their long-term overall health. No two people experience pain the same, so no two treatment plans are alike. Each of our providers is an expert in their own right who actively collaborate to provide individualized, specific care for every member of the North Lakes patient family.
