WHAT MAKES PAIN SOLUTIONS DIFFERENT

Dr. Hawkins, a pain specialist and patient himself, has over forty years of professional experience teaching others how to have a quality of life in spite of their physical, emotional and familial challenges. Lessons learned from his patients, and personal experience coping with constant pain stimulated two research projects concerning effective solutions for managing chronic pain.

Our therapy programs are the culmination of Dr. Hawkins’ curiosity and dedication to help others develop effective management techniques for pain and its accompanying stress or depression. These programs are from a pain patient to pain patients about what makes sense and what works best in their quality of life.
