Unfortunately, I have found pain clinics to be less than useful. First, there are not enough and, second, before all of the opioid changes, their only goal was to get them on acupuncture and tea tree oil, and get them back to me in two sessions completely off their pain meds. They were in the throes of withdrawal, so I had no choice but to put them back up to a certain level, not the original level. They then would return to the pain clinic, the pain doctor would call me yelling, because I had ruined their plan. At that time, pain clinics would have been good if they come up with alternative ways to treat while tapering the opioid. Now, they would be helpful just knowing how to taper.
