Information for Patients

Welcome to Care Center Rehabilitation and Pain Management. We offer a comprehensive, multidisciplinary chronic pain management program.

In recent years, great strides have been made in our ability to help individuals who suffer from pain. We have gone beyond the historical method of providing treatment in which a sole practitioner works with a chronic pain patient. Chronic pain has such serious physical and psychological consequences that it demands careful evaluation and treatment in a team approach. This approach is required to deal with the myriad of issues- medical, personal, family, social and vocational.

Our emphasis is on active therapy. Chronic pain patients require an approach that recognizes the complex interactions of physical pain, psychological distress, and social and vocational disabilities. To change ones coping style requires relearning old skills and developing new ones. A pain management program does not claim to eradicate the pain, but rather it teaches patients how to live with pain while achieving a maximum level of function.

Testimonial from Carla B.:

When I first came to the Care Center, I didn't realize that I would meet my mother. A woman who embarrassed me with open arms the moment I walked through the door. She listened to my problems and she gave me advice. When I was in despair, she ever so gently took her warm healing hands and placed them on my face. Laid my head on her shoulder and gave me a comforting place to cry. (Thank you Marlene) When I first came to the Care Center, I didn't realize that I would meet my sister. A sister who gave me encouragement, strength, and support. But most important, when times got a little hectic, she took the time to pray with me. (Thank you Amina) When I first came to the Care Center, I didn't know that I would meet my best friend. Someone I could confide in. Someone who was willing to share every part of her life with me, as I was willing to share my life with her. (Thank you Tina) When I first came to the Care Center, I didn't realize that I would find two of my cousins. Although they may have thought that I was a little silly at times, like one of my cousins would say, "You so Crazy ". But never the less if I ever needed any result's, (Amanda and Veronica) would make it happen. Thank you for having my back. When I first came to the Care Center, I didn't know that I would meet my girlfriend. The most compassionate, loving, snuggliest person I have ever met. She almost made me question my own sexuality, but I don't swing like that! If I ever decided to cross over, which I won’t, because I daunt swing like that. (Pam) you have the heart and soul of a mate that I would cherish for life. When I first came to the Care Center, I didn't know that I would meet my husband. A man who knows how to touch me in all the right places. But not only does he have great hands, he has a great personality and a great sense of humor. (Thank you Luis) When I first came to the Care Center, I didn't know that I was going to meet my father. A man who knew me before I knew myself. A man who taught me to believe in myself. (Thank you Dr. Gagne) Although I didn't go down the line and single out each and every one of you, you all know how I feel about you. And if you don’t know, all of you have touched my heart in your own special way. As I leave here a part of each and every one of you will leave with me. Thank you for becoming my second family while I was away from my own family.
Carla B.


Testimonial from Oscar A. V.

Dear Care Center Rehab,
As per my conversation with you last week and as per my doctor's orders, I need to discontinue physical therapy and all exercise at this time. After performing an MRI of my lower back they found I have some discs that is causing my severe lower back pain. I appreciate the wonderful care I have received from your facility and as soon as I can, I will resume physical therapy at Care Center Rehab. In the meantime please cancel all my pre-booked appointments until further notice and forward me any outstanding bill. My last Physical Therapy visit was on Monday,
April 22, 2002.
Sincerely,
Oscar A. V.


Testimonial from Ronette:

Dear Dr. Gagne,
I just wanted to thank you for speaking with me and for explaining your reasons for not prescribing the Ultram instead of just saying no. Even though I wish you had said yes I really appreciate the time you took to speak with me and I wanted you to know how much that means to me
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ronette
