Interventional Pain and Regenerative Medicine

TRUE Care for relief and regenerations for chronic pain.

Helping You Find Relief From Pain

Chronic pain is an issue that affects millions of people every year. It can be debilitating to the individual and can have a major impact on one’s overall health. In Interventional Pain and Regenerative Medicine, we will work with you to find pain management and innovative restorative options in the treatment of your pain. Our medical team, led by Dr. Christopher Hess, who is board certified in regenerative medicine, is here to get you back to the quality of life that you want and deserve.

Every person’s pain is different and can impact not only movement but many organs and systems throughout the body. With that said, we utilize a multimodal approach to include formal physical therapy, yoga, exercise therapy, acupuncture, group therapy, interventional injections, and adjunct pharmacotherapy to treat chronic difficult-to-treat pain. We focus our efforts on managing pain in two areas of emphasis:

  • Interventional Pain Management
  • Regenerative Medicine

Through careful discussion, examination, and testing, our medical team will work with you to determine the best course of treatment for you.

At this time, we are only offering in-office visits and not telehealth visits to best provide care for our services.

“Jessica helped me make sure I could receive the treatment I needed and would most benefit me in a timely manner. The entire Dr. Hess team is the best in the organization, and the best of my medical care providers. I would and have recommended Dr. Hess and his team to numerous friends and family members. He is always friendly, but also on task of finding any new medical treatments available that could potentially help me. I appreciate him and his team immensely.”
