The Integrative Pain Center of Arizona is made up of the leanest possible core team of Providers and support staff - we are striving to find the minimum size program necessary to meet the demand for our services. We believe that this is one way we can keep the cost of healthcare down - by keeping our overhead to a minimum and by eliminating the tendency that large programs have for unnecessary internal referals. Also, we try to keep as much of a patient's care as possible local - in their geographic area.
Consequently, at IPCA we prefer not to replicate services that are already available in the community at very high levels of quality - and Southern Arizona has excellent physicians and allied health providers available in many of the specialty areas that we frequently need to include in the "Interdisciplinary Team". We at IPCA focus on identifying, referring to, and coordinating the different existing services a person with painfull illness needs. Please refer to our home page for an overview of "What we do at IPCA"
The list that follows represents a wide range of providers and programs who participate in the Interdisciplinary project; and many of them are regular particpants in the Friday morning multidisciplinary conferences. Please keep in mind that we are always adding to this list - just because a name or a business does not appear here does not necessarily mean that they do not ever participate.
This is a group of Physical Therapist with whom the IPCA providers have partnered for over 10 years to deliver coordinated musculoskeletal diagnostic and treatment services. Their staff regularly attend multidisciplinary rounds and provide key information and input into the medical decision making process. Click here to learn more.
