A much-needed health care service has become a reality at the John J. Pershing VA Medical Center in Poplar Bluff. The Integrated Pain Management Clinic opened in mid-June, according to Dr. Karis Ivie, the facility’s pain management, opioid safety, and prescription drug monitoring program coordinator. According to information from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, almost two-thirds of military Veterans in the U.S. are in pain, with just over nine percent rating it as severe, so the clinic will serve a very important function. It is located on the first floor of the main facility, near the north entrance, and will feature a physical therapy room, three exam rooms, and waiting area. “The addition of the clinic comes after repeated requests from Veterans,” Ivie noted, “especially since many have had to travel long distances to be seen by community providers.” Those seeking an appointment in the new pain clinic must first be referred by their primary care doctor, she noted. For more information about the Integrated Pain Management Clinic or other programs and services at the John J. Pershing VA Medical Center, please call 573- 686-4151.
