"I have significant rheumatoid osteoarthritis in my hands and I’ve had pain for 20 years. I was up 275 mcg of fentanyl a day because of osteoarthritis pain. I have absolutely no hand pain in the involved joints after I received treatment at IPPMC over the last year. My lower back is 100% improved, and my neck. I have significantly reduced my pain medications. You guys are great! I send everybody to you. The big thing with coming to this clinic is they don’t give up on you and that’s true!"

"When I first came to this Pain Clinic I was taking over 120 mg of methadone a day. My quality of life was horrid. My quality of life has improved by 90%. I tell everybody about this Pain Clinic and they notice how well I’m doing. I’m close to being weaned off methadone at this time and my activity level has increased greatly. The last walk I took was a mile and a half and I started at half a block. I can’t remember the last time I’ve felt almost pain free. I would highly recommend this clinic to anybody that has chronic pain. My life is so much better and I’m so thankful that I came here."
Margaret
"I have been living with chronic lower back pain for over 10 years. I received some temporary relief with neurosurgery and after six months my pain started to return. After seeing Dr. Kowalkowski he evaluated me and he diagnosed the areas of my pain and treated my symptoms which allowed me to go on a road trip for five days which I would not have been able to complete. I received further interventional therapies and I am doing great and I am truly pleased."
Martin
"I have been in pain since 1964. Now I am not in pain. I can walk, mow the yard, and do all that stuff. There is less pain with driving my car. I worked as a butcher for over 40 years. I am happy."
Bradley
"I wish my primary doctor would have sent me here three years ago. My sleep is significantly improved. My pain is greatly reduced. I am not fatigued anymore. I feel so much better. Previous to my treatments at IPPMC, my care consisted of hit-and-miss injections and pills."
Royce
"I am a carpenter by trade. I have years in physical labor including with the United States Olympic Greco Roman team, involvement with the UFC, and playing semi-professional football. When I came to IPPMC, I had headaches, neck pain, and chronic ankle pain. I can now make it through a day without having excruciating pain. I can make it almost a week without headaches. My friends and family are noticing how much better I am moving."

Marlin
"Before treatment at IPPMC I could hardly stand or walk. After the treatments I have had and physical therapy I am back to about 90%. I would recommend this clinic to anybody who has problems with pain or sports injuries. This clinic is second to none."
James
"Yesterday I had a Procedure done on my back- which, by the way has left my back- - "pain free" - for the first time - IN YEARS. I know, it is really, really, really too early- - but it is pretty positive."
