Testimonials

"Dr. Gruft and the From Pain to Wellness staff are Golden. I have been dealing with medical issues for a number of years and have had and currently have more than a few doctors. He is unlike any healthcare provider I have come across. He actually listens to what I have to say and takes the time to consider my issues. I always feel at ease and have had nothing but positive experiences during the years I have been a patient there. I'm very appreciative to have Pain to Wellness help me deal with this aspect of my medical issues"

-Liz

Patient

"I recently started seeing Dr. Gruft. It is so nice to have a doctor who actually listened to you. He also treats you with respect. I have had 8 back surgeries, and medication is literally life-saving for me. I also love the therapist Dr. Kennedy who is right on the premises. The staff is great also. They return your call very quickly"

-Tracy

Patient

"You won't find a better and more knowledgeable doctor than Dr. Gruft. He has gone over and above my needs and even gave me a little insight as to my son's back problems just because he truly cares. I have so much nerve damage and disk issues it's almost unlivable but he was the only doctor I found that has worked. It's hard to find the proper ways to make my life worth living again, at least for now. In closing, I hope to God he doesn't retire before I retire for good because I don't know what i would do."

Secondary effects of chronic pain

Chronic pain is enormously different from acute pain. It is not just a symptom of an underlying problem - it is the problem. It often does not respond to treatments used for acute pain. In fact, acute pain treatments can sometimes make it worse.

What is comprehensive pain management?

Comprehensive pain management is a special form of treatment. It is an intensive attempt to deal with every major aspect of our life vis-a-vis chronic pain. If a pain clinic only offers injections and medication, it is not comprehensive pain management.

How to face our pain?.

Once we start to face our pain, we realize that its message is not one of annihilation. Pain by itself, is not out to kill us. The only way we lose if we give up. To break the cycle of pain-inactivity-weakness-pain, we have to be willing to do things...
