Alexander P. Hersel, M.D.
“I founded PMIR Medical Center because I wanted to help patients experience freedom from pain through advanced pain management. I strongly believe in a mind-body-spirit approach to treating pain that utilizes a combination of Western medicine and alternative therapies.”
Bradley Spiegel, M.D.
“When I was a teenager, my mother contracted breast cancer. She created a multidisciplinary approach to her treatment that included yoga, nutrition, and exercise, which helped her live for another 15 years. This experience became the catalyst for my pain management practice.”
Time for Something Different
–
At Pain Management and Injury Relief Medical Center, we focus on breaking the cycle of pain by targeting your pain pathways, improving your physical well-being and helping you transform your perspective on pain.
BODY
As pain messages travel along your nervous system, they create physiological responses in every major body system. We use minimally invasive procedures and nonnarcotic pain relief options that stop or reduce pain signals, so you can feel better and heal.
MIND
Your emotional state can also be affected by pain. Any preexisting anxiety or depression can worsen, and feelings like sadness, anger, or fear can increase your pain. By getting to the source of your pain quickly, we can help alleviate these feelings.
SPIRIT
When pain controls your life, your confidence and self-esteem can falter, making daily tasks seem overwhelming. We’ll help you regain your positive outlook on life and re-connect to the best version of yourself—the one that’s free from pain!
