Our Unique Approach
Our Berkshire Pain Clinic Roadmap is a unique approach to help people struggling with physical and mental pain by getting to the root of the problem and removing the barriers to healing so that they have more hope and control over their life… even if they’ve tried pills, surgery, or literally everything else and don’t know what to do next.
We partner with each client to achieve these steps, starting with the Foundation Phase:
During the initial consultation, we’ll review your past medical history and any previous lab tests, so we can assess symptoms or anything your doctor might have missed.
Next, we'll determine the need for additional blood tests to help pinpoint the real reasons for your digestive drama and to understand potential catalysts for chronic pain..
After that, we'll focus on acute pain control for immediate symptom relief – utilizing a variety of healing protocols, supplements and interventional treatments. During this process, we also will adjust your treatment schedule based on sensitivity and how receptive you are to treatments.
In the Fix phase we start with nutrition and gut health to help uncover key deficiencies and food sensitivities that may be contributing to inflammation and chronic pain. We analyze your current eating patterns and symptoms to identify problem areas holding you back from healing.
Next, we focus on functional movement by carefully assessing your gait, posture, and movement patterns to identify any imbalances or compensations that may be perpetuating pain. We create personalized exercise programs that safely rebuild strength and mobility while retraining your nervous system to move without fear or hesitation.
Afterwards, we’ll strengthen parasympathetic tone to help you shift from “flight or flight” to “rest and digest” mode – while dialing down inflammatory signals that can also cause pain while enhancing sleep and controlling stress.
In the Flourish phase, we’ll start by rebalancing hormones, we provide thyroid, and adrenal support to restore energy and improve metabolism. We also cover blood sugar balance and address possible insulin resistance that can keep you from losing weight and feeling energized.
The next step focuses on emotional and mental health --helping you to establish positive mindset habits that you enjoy emotional resilience, bounce back quickly from stress and also maintain lifelong healthy habits to keep you pain-free.
In the final step of our Berkshire Pain Clinic Roadmap resilience and regenerative medicine we help you develop both physical and emotional strategies to better handle life's challenges while preventing pain flare-ups. Our regenerative medicine treatments, including targeted injections and innovative therapies, work to repair and heal damaged tissues at their source, promoting your body's natural ability to recover and maintain long-term pain relief.
How Our Approach Is Different
At The Berkshire Pain Clinic, you’ll be looked after by a care team of lifestyle medicine physicians and chronic pain experts to ensure the fastest return back to health and the most complete system of care.
As such, our integrative medicine approach under the guidance of Professor Deepak Ravindran focuses on:
Using a variety of treatment modalities, including regenerative medicine in tandem with state of the art testing.
Focusing holistically on all the areas that impact your health… gut health, nutrition, hormones, pain management and mindset.
Teaching patients how to take an active role in health creation, so that they can heal and/or keep chronic pain at bay.
Focusing on optimal health, based on your unique biological needs, not just the absence of symptoms or disease.
Acknowledging the multifactorial nature of complex causes of pain, which requires an experienced clinician who can pinpoint the reasons you have the pain and craft the correct treatment plan.
Using natural, non-toxic therapies, as much as possible, harnessing the body’s amazing ability to heal itself.
