About Javery Pain Institute
The Javery Pain Institute provides FDA-approved care for chronic pain, utilizing treatments such as injections, pain medications, and physical therapy. The physicians and advanced care providers work to develop safe and effective treatment plans. Many patients report being treated with compassion, patience, and understanding over many years, feeling glad for the care received. Some procedures, however, such as diagnostic nerve injections, can be exceptionally painful and traumatic without sedation. Insurance may not cover sedation for these injections. While the medical reason is to monitor feelings after the procedure, patients describe the experience as one of the most horribly painful things they have ever felt. Following such injections, patients have reported unexpected and disorienting side effects like numbness in the limbs and difficulty walking, feeling they were not fully warned beforehand. Feedback indicates that staff can sometimes seem hurried, and patients wish for clearer explanations of potential effects before and after procedures. The clinic operates under necessary state regulations for pain management, including random screenings.
Normally my experienced are very good. Today I had test injections in my neck to see of an ablation would help my neck pain. Well, they do these without any premedication and it was horrible. They say they cant give you anything as they need you to remember how you were feeling the whole time after and into the next day. Also my Priority health Insurance has now decided sedation for all the injections for pain isn't necessary and they won't pay for it. I don't think they have any idea what it is like having needles poked deeply in your neck and back feels like! Now you can get a valium 20 minutes before the procedure! Doesn't kick in till way after it's done.

Caused a severe hematoma while having injections. Also told me I could not come back after being a patient of 12 years because I couldn't make an appointment with the nurse practitioner. it happened 3 times over a 12 year span!! Woppie!! They cancel on me as well. Call my home and said the nurse wouldn't be in
the office!! Same day call too!! They needed to reschedule, So they can do it to us. But we can not call in to reschedule for a Good reason. They are not very professional at all.
I have been seen by JPI for over a decade. They have always treated my pain compassionately, and made sure I knew all of my options. Pain is treated at this office, but as chronic pain patients know that treatments and medications ease the pain, not cure it. A lot of the complaints feel like people were expecting a cure- that's rarely possible for chronic pain. There are a few methods to help ease the pain- shots, pain meds, physical therapy, and surgery. If you are unwilling to do any of those, there isn't really much left that can be done, short of a magic wand, which no doctors in the world possess yet. There are also state regulations that have to be adhered to if you are receiving opioid care from your doctor, which includes taking random urine screenings, and being seen in between shot appointments. You will encounter those no matter what office you go to.
