What We Do

James River Comprehensive Pain Management is at the leading edge of a new and exciting movement in health care known as Integrative Medicine. An integrative medical system can be distinguished from other medical systems in two important ways.

First, the emphasis is patient-centered rather than disease-centered. This means that the focus is on all aspects of your life and health rather than just a specific disease or health condition. You become a partner in your health care decisions; we work with you and take the time to listen to your needs. An integrative medicine evaluation takes not only physical, but also emotional and lifestyle factors into consideration to promote wellness and cope with illness.

Second, integrative medical systems combine the strengths of conventional and alternative healing traditions, creating a wider range of safe and effective options for you. A synthesis of many different disciplines has been brought together to provide a complete and comprehensive form of medicine and stay on the cutting edge of health care.

We are dedicated to bringing you the latest advancements in the field of interventional pain medicine, in addition to alternative and complementary medicine, unifying both western biomedical science and the insights and traditions of ancient healing methods.  There is no one single approach that works well of everyone, so we integrate multiple forms of alternative, complementary and interventional medical therapy to provide you with a individual and customized approach to address your specific needs. 

It is our belief that ancient wisdom combined with new western scientific advancements such as cutting edge Interventional Pain Medicine techniques, Medical Acupuncture, Craig- PENS, Auricular Medicine, Transcranial Microcurrent Stimulation, and Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) provide the most balanced and effective approach to healthcare and pain management available anywhere!  

It is important to remember, that we look at each patient as an individual and with his or her help decide on the most appropriate and efficacious form of treatment available.  We work together with your primary care physician and other medical specialists to coordinate your care and provide you with the most comprehensive treatments available on the entire east coast.
