Pain Management Resources

NAPPM Downloads

At NAPPM, we are committed to ensuring our patients’ comfort in every way possible. We know that anticipating a medical procedure can be frightening if you don’t know what to expect, so we have provided some resources that can help prepare you for your appointment. We invite you to download and fill in our Patient Questionnaire in advance of your appointment so you will have the opportunity to think carefully about each item before providing your answer.

In the meantime, you may be interested in reading one or both of the following books. Written by our leading pain management professionals and packed with information about pain management techniques, each book is a valuable resource for anyone suffering from chronic pain.
