Dr. Bradley utilizes a multi-disciplinary approach which allows him to treat the underlying injury and physical dysfunction that causes pain in a non-narcotic, holistic fashion.
Dr. Bradley's belief is that pain has multiple facets which include not only physical, but also, mental, emotional and spiritual components. By addressing all facets, we assure the best possibility for a positive outcome.
Since medicine/drugs are a common practice for addressing pain, we must also address chemical dependency issues. Chronic pain and chemical dependecy may both lead to isolation, dissatisfaction with ourselves, family and friends, and a decrease in our quality of life.
