Sonoma Valley Community Health Center, in partnership with Sonoma Valley Hospital, can help those dealing with acute and chronic painful conditions. The sources of pain can be complex and require careful diagnosis. Pain may be caused by many different conditions such as injury, surgery, disease, nerve damage and or metabolic conditions such as diabetes. We will work with you to identify the cause of your pain and create a treatment plan using pain management therapies customized to your individual needs.

Treatments range from injections and medications to surgery and regenerative treatments, and may include complimentary and integrative approaches such as massage therapy. We also provide referrals to post-acute care including rehabilitation and physical therapy, and psychological counseling.

While not all painful conditions can be completely eliminated, we will help you manage your pain so you can find relief and resume an active lifestyle. We are also concerned with the incidence of opioid abuse in our community and can help those experiencing pain to find safe alternatives to managing their pain.
