Are you in extreme pain? Have you found it difficult to locate a compassionate doctor experienced in the treatment of chronic intractable pain? Does your doctor practice the opiophobic "old paradigm"? Or, perhaps your doctors are intimidated about being regulated by drug enforcement officials if they prescribe appropriate medication? Instead of understanding your condition, have you been abused by a pharmacist or treated like a drug addict? You might consider the NFTP's intensive in-patient pain evaluation and treatment program at the state-of-the-art Houston Rehabilitation Institute.

We will review your complete medical history, assemble and summarize it as an official, comprehensive document. We will obtain any additional diagnostic tests which are needed to establish a definitive diagnosis.

Next, a comprehensive treatment plan will be individually constructed for you, including adequate and appropriate pain relief. You will receive a trial of intensive treatment. This trial will identify any needed modifications in your treatment regimen, and you will experience significant relief of you pain. Afterward, follow-up care in your home town will be arranged. Your home physician will be provided with a copy of all the above documentation, which will permanently safeguard him/her from drug regulatory prosecution or persecution.

Please, contact us today for immediate scheduling of your care.

Call Dr. Joel Hochman at (713) 862-9332, or leave a voice mail message if he is unavailable. You may also e-mail Dr Hochman.
