"The relationship between pain and mental health is complex, with psychological distress worsening physical pain," Sloane said. "To successfully treat each patient, it is essential that we treat the whole person with behavioral health integrated into the care plan."

Office hours for A Second Chance Center and NAPPM are available Monday through Friday. New patients are welcome and most major insurances are accepted.
