Cabinet Peaks Medical Center partners with Holistic Pain Management

Cabinet Peaks Medical Center is partnering with Holistic Pain Management in an effort to help patients in Lincoln County and surrounding areas battle chronic pain.

Chronic pain is pain that persists 12 weeks or more with or without medical treatment.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, chronic pain is one of the most common reasons adults seek medical treatment. It has been linked to restrictions in mobility and daily activities, dependence on opioids, anxiety and depression, and poor perceived health or reduced quality of life.

HPM is dedicated to serving those suffering from chronic pain, especially in rural areas. At this time, they have clinics in several states and will continue to grow and serve rural America.

Holistic Pain Management CEO Ryan Shedd said, “At HPM our goal is to reduce pain and improve function in patients with chronic pain, while making a positive impact on every person we encounter.”

The pain clinic is temporarily officed at 401 Louisiana, where patients can be seen for an initial diagnostic appointment to determine a personalized treatment plan. If further treatment is necessary, patients will be treated in the Surgery Department at CPMC.

HPM’s permanent address at 308 Louisiana is under remodel to accommodate the needs and equipment needed to allow them to have consults and procedures done in the office.

Erin Moe, Surgery Department Manager, said, “Bringing in HPM has been a huge undertaking for Cabinet Peaks Medical Center. We felt the importance of providing this service to our patients was extremely important and we didn’t feel there would be any benefit to waiting until their permanent office is complete in spring of 2023. Our patients are our number one priority and getting them into the clinic and receiving treatment as quickly as possible was extremely important.”

The HPM Clinic is staffed with a dedicated provider, Caryle Spaulding, BSN, RN, CRNA. She has spent the last year specifically training to treat patients with chronic pain.

HPM requires its providers to train, observe and participate for one year and at least 1,200 procedures prior to treating patients.

When making an appointment, patients can expect Caryle to spend one hour with them for the initial consultation to determine the cause and best practice to treat it. The next goal is to get people the recommended procedure at the earliest opportunity to help ease the pain and frustration.

Although referrals are not necessary for an appointment with HPM, it is recommended that folks see their primary provider.
