Most types of acute and chronic pain can be managed and controlled, allowing patients to return to a normal life. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations ( JCAHO ) recently established pain as the "fifth vital sign," to be evaluated along with temperature, pulse, respiration and blood pressure. This was part of an effort to address each patient's right to appropriate assessment and management of pain.
The Pain Institute has recognized this need for many years. Since 1991, we have offered advanced medical expertise and up-to-the-minute resources for treatment of all types of pain. From cancer patients to workers with on-the-job injuries, a vast range of patients have found relief at The Pain Institute.
We are the area's only non hospital-affiliated pain clinic, state licensed and accredited by the national Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care. ( AAAHC )(our Louisville facility )
