New CDC guidelines have created a 72 hour window for your patients to access a pain specialist
For the physicians at Pain Specialists of Great Chicago, speed has always been important – as we know it is critical to treat pain in the acute stage before it becomes chronic. New CDC guidelines underscore our efforts, requiring that primary care and/or emergency physicians prescribe no more than three days of opioids for acute pain. These guidelines were developed to curb overuse and abuse, but could result in an increase in emergency and acute care visits if patients run out of opioids prior to being seen by a pain management specialist. That means, we have 72 hours to see a patient and develop a care plan aimed at controlling or eliminating their pain.
“We all know the majority of pain does not disappear in 3 days. Your patients deserve a back-up plan and access to high-quality pain management physicians and their staff who are trained to treat the sources of acute and sub-acute pain to prevent chronic pain”
– Scott Glaser, MD, DABIPP

Dr.Scott Glaser has by far been the best Pain specialist I've yet to see in all the years I've been managing my pain and going to different pain clinics. He actually cares and actually does not stop until he finds the root of the problem!! I have been suffering for over 25 years with spinal stenosis, herniated disks, bulging disks, and the worst sciatic nerve pain any person should ever have to endure. Dr.Glaser is very knowledgeable about his medical practice and I did my share of research before I came to him with all of my pain issues. He has helped me tremendously , and I, ONE MILLION PERCENT recommend him to EVERYONE AND ANYONE whom you may know who suffers in pain as I have throughout more then half of my pain ridden life. I have had joint facet injections as well as other procedures from him and he has healed the excruciating pain in my neck that I thought would never heal, it was so bad I couldn't even sleep comfortably. So if you are looking for a wonderful Dr. , look NO FURTHER!!! Dr.Scott Glaser is your man!!! His logo should be ...WWW.THE BOMB.COM!!!!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK DOC!! YOUR AMAZING:)
