Our Patients

Our Patients Are Who Matter

At OC Pain Management, we understand that every patient is unique. That’s why we always take the time to assess each person individually and create a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs. Here are just a few of the types of patients we serve on a daily basis.

The Veteran

A former Marine (Semper Fi!). His proclivity to adrenaline rushes has led him to stay active in riding motorcycles and working out at the gym. Chronic lumbar and cervical pain were mainstays before he sought treatment at OCPM after the pain became overwhelming, which says a lot about this celebrated veteran. Through interventional steroid injections, his pain is managed and he is able to resume his daily activities, whether it is on the race track or at the gym.

The Professional

Works Monday through Saturday, morning until the evening. He is the vital engine that keeps his company going and as such, flies frequently across the country and works long hours both standing and sitting. He has lumbar back pain with radiculopathy down his leg, which we manage through a regiment of medication and interventional steroid injections, as well as physical therapy and acupuncture. This allows him to continue his work as the consummate business professional.

The Grandparent

A grandmother to the most perfect triplets. To say she has her hands full would be a grand understatement. Her days are spent caring for them – one grandchild is exhausting enough, three is otherworldly. She keeps up her superpowers with a specific treatment plan targeting her shoulder, knee, and back pains. Topical gels for quick relief and viscosupplementation injections into her joints keep her mobile and agile enough to be able to keep up with those triplets and to be the best grandma she can be. And while Rheumatoid Arthritis has tried to slow her down, a lifestyle plan that includes acupuncture, yoga and massage means she’s able to stay active and on the move.

The Musician

Has been playing the guitar since she was a child. Music has always been an important part of her life and continues to be, despite developing cervical, back, and hand pain. She sees our office for routine steroid injections and a careful, regimented system of medications to manage her pain. We work with a network of experienced surgeons for those that require more extensive procedures. She completed hand surgery and sees our office for post-procedure care. It is important we manage her pain so that she can continue to rock out.

The Working Mom

A mother of three children, aged 6, 3, and one. Between working and being a full-time mom, she pushes her body to the limit on a daily basis. Everyday activities like carrying kids can result in chronic shoulder pain, which hinders quality of life. She receives periodic PRP injections into her shoulders, allowing her body to naturally heal with her own plasma-rich platelets. Such treatments give her control over her life so she can continue to raise her family.

The Athlete

56 years old and has been an athlete his entire life. He competes in Ironman Triathlons, which test your ability to run, swim, and bicycle. To say he is a warrior is an understatement. Pushing your body to the limits requires a measured approach of nutrition and pain management to ensure peak performance. OCPM’s treatment and injections help with his back pain and allow him to train and perform to the best of his ability. Do not let pain limit your capacity to exercise and enjoy sports.
