Dr Kalava has a pain management program that is years ahead of most other hospitals if you have pain and do not want to take narcotics then this is the doctor for you. I have been seeing him for 7 years and have not needed narcotics since then just Motrin it is so nice to not have to risk getting addicted in this day and age it is a priority that you should look for the places that will help you with procedures that limit the need for those dangerous drugs.
