I'm Dr. Jason Attaman and I'm double board-certified in the specialty of
physical medicine and rehabilitation
andy subspecialty of pain medicine and interventional pain management
oftentimes institutions that company
that have been told the lead but not doctors at
please have to live with their pain
but there's nothing else that done but
in reality the issue is that the have not had the resources for the proper
treatment that doctors that i have had experience leads a lot of them
they're only solution from u_s_ medicate me and sam actually had one doctor tom
and i i i can't fix you know i can do is just described
uh... pain medication for it
and i'm still young and i a new why live my life and not be on medication forever
so
and it was exciting to come to dr adam in and learn from the very first
appointment at his school wants to get rid of the pain and to get it if the
medicine as well on selected go on that in my life free of all of that
the most important thing i can offer patient
is support
most of the people that come see me have
suffered for years with their pain sometimes decades
they've been repeatedly told there's nothing left to be done that they have
to live with their pain or even that they're mentioning their pain
ninety nine percent of time there are treatments available
for people chronic pain
that have never been offer to them and i've prided myself on finding those
options for the patient i really wanting to leave the office with a sense of hope
one of the things i strive for is to be able to give patients
the whole continuum of treatment options for a pit and that's a different routes
me and my clinic from from other locations
or other physicians
when i came to see dr adam and he definitely keep me uh... treatment
choices that i uh... had not previously been offered
that is my role as a specialist
still understand these nuances and try to come up with the different angle to
treat the patient when patients come to me for the first time furnished
consultation i do a very thorough review of their past medical treatments
their imaging reports any studies they've had done notes from a previous
positions and i tried to take a very comprehensive
uh... history from the patient a need to understand
how my patients suffering because people perceive pain and different factions
affects our lives differently he's always kinds
dot entire staff is amazing and i'm really i feel like now they're my second
family we treat patients with what's called multidisciplinary approach which
means
hides the physician will tighten no
and or specific treatments for the patient for the best outcome in that is
variable but they can include pain psychology where we work with p_h_d_
level psychologists who specialize in
in pain physical therapists to help
uh... reeducate the patient with range of motion spot injections which help
reduce pain
manipulation which sometimes works uh... sufficiently in its owner needs a team
approach
he was going to try it more a d_n_c_ madsen
that definitely work offered to me by other doctors
and by doing this procedures
i was able to get it
the bottom line is that we kill her
the approach and the treatment plan for the specific patient so when a patient
comes to me i don't see them s a herniated disk i don't see them as an
amputee i see them as
a person uh... experiencing and suffering from
a certain type of pathology and
each person requires a individualized treatment before i started seemed dr
adam and my pain level wise it in a and i a scale of ten
and i was not able to physically do norm all daily activities and after coming to
dr out in nineteen ninety
is com
about ninety five percent
where the greatest things in my life has been to see patients
that have been incapacitated by their pain
kickback too
their life
even if it's not before even if it's some sort mal aspect of their life
that they had lost and often times we have patients that have even more
dramatic recovery
climbing to the top of mountain sar
or getting out of wheelchairs when i was experiencing pain
uh... i was not able to do arm off delete functions such as outlined in the
dispatcher going up and down the stairs and a half
now to go friend feeling like i have no legs and no hope and that i was just
this is this looks like it's gonna be to being able to to things like i'd never
thought i would be excited not unlike the dishwasher boarding line team are
going up and down the stairs that uh... it's been anything to happen in life
back i really enjoyed my profession because i get to the allow patients
to enjoy their life that are on the quality of life position
i don't necessarily save lives too often but i save quality opponents
and that brings a lot of personal satisfaction
