NJPC physicians Dr. Michael Rudman and Dr. Richard P. Winne, are Board certified pain management physicians who have been practicing pain management since 1992.
OUR MISSION
The mission of NJPC is to reduce acute and chronic pain to its lowest possible level, to restore physical functioning by increasing activity, and to decrease the psychological impact of pain on the person.
TEAM APPROACH
NJPC provides an anesthesia-based approach to pain management that interacts with many medical specialties to broaden the diagnostic and treatment modalities available and thus achieve the most positive outcome.
We routinely work with skilled professionals in other disciplines such as Physical Therapy, Psychology, Orthopedics, Neurology, Physiatry, Neurosurgery, Psychiatry, Oncology, Internal Medicine, and Nursing.

EVALUATIONS
Medical Services
Evaluation of the pain complaint includes a complete medical history and physical examination targeted to pain complaint. All current medications are reviewed, including both prescription and over-the-counter medications. Please be sure to bring a complete list or your medications or actual medication vials to each office visit.
If diagnostic testing has been completed, copies of MRI reports and films are needed to assist in the evaluation of your pain complaint. Please bring these to your first visit. Records of previous treatments for your pain are also important. Knowing your response to previous treatments will assist us in tailoring your treatment plan. Please have prior medical records forwarded to us.
If necessary, further diagnostic testing may be ordered by NJPC doctors. It is important to understand that the exact reason may not be discovered, but testing may exclude (“rule out”) serious underlying conditions, which may be responsible for your pain.
