Words About Us
Holistic Pain Solutions believes in working with the body to create natural and permanent healing for all types of acute and chronic pain syndromes. Although many of our patients present with musculoskeletal complaints, HPS supports pain syndromes of all origins including neurological, digestive pain, sinus pain, neuropathy, cramping, menstrual pain, and pain of unknown origins. Our combination of ancient and modern modalities allow us to provide long-lasting, drug-free relief to our clients. This synergistic use of techniques also allows us to address to the emotional and spiritual aspects of pain as well as its physical manifestations.

Holistic Pain Solutions
Patient Experience
New patients begin their care at HPS with a 45-minute consultation. Together, one of HPS's practitioners and the patient develop a treatment plan that fits that patient's budget, schedule, and goals. If time allows, the practitioner may provide some short pain-relief procedures during the first visit. Treatment plans may span as little as one week to as long as 3 months, and will usually include supplements and self-care practices in addition to in-office procedures. Patients may elect to pay for services individually or purchase an unlimited service pass.
Most individual services are completed within 15-30 minutes, although some patients may wish to combine multiple services into longer visits. The typical new patient needs 2 cumulative hours of service per week for the first month for optimal results, while established patients usually need less frequent, shorter treatments for maintenance. Patients also have the option of extending the duration of their services if they choose (e.g., they may choose the length of their massage or laser therapy sessions and may dictate how long they wish to retain needles during acupuncture or retain cups during cupping therapy).

Tiki and Turbo
Therapy Dogs
Tiki and Turbo are Holistic Pain Solutions' resident therapy dogs. Jessica is amazed at how much better results patients get from their treatments when they are able to pet the dogs before and after their visits. Turbo is a coming 6 year old border collie and Tiki is an approximately 14 year old chihuahua mix. They are experts in giving cuddles and love nothing more than pets and belly rubs.
