The Asclepius team integrates modern medicine with ancient wisdom. We are dedicated to helping our patients end their suffering, improve their emotional and physical functioning, diminish their pain and regain meaningful lives.
We are a physician directed, integrative, interdisciplinary medical practice. Asclepius patients acquire the knowledge, skills, tools and strategies to improve emotional and physical functioning. They learn to make life choices and behavioral changes necessary for sustainable success. We collaborate with each patient to develop an effective personal pain management practice that incorporates contemplative, behavioral, medical, physical, and interventional modalities.
Successful pain management rests on a foundation of effective health management that includes good nutrition, functional conditioning, meditation, restorative sleep and pursuit of a fulfilling life. We teach each patient to self-direct his or her personalized pain treatment practice. We provide support and guidance throughout the program and beyond.
Asclepius Pain Management’s founder, William Conard, M.D., provides the practice with vision and leadership. Asclepius professionals possess over a century of combined experience treating patients with chronic pain and related problems.
