Norman Marcus Pain Institute

Dr. Marcus wasn’t the first doctor I went to see after I injured my back (I saw three other doctors), but he’s the last one I’ll be seeing.
The level of progress that I’ve made while under his care is light years beyond where anyone else’s treatments have taken me.
Previous treatments were nothing more than Novocain shots and epidurals, which provided temporary relief, but did nothing to address the root causes of my back pain.
Dr. Marcus treated not only the muscles in my back, which were injured in a car crash, but he also taught me about the role that the mind plays in perceiving pain, thereby helping me to stay more relaxed throughout the day!
I’m very lucky to have found Dr. Marcus and I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Wow. I’ve never had a doctor this caring before. Dr. Marcus called me back today to see how I was doing. It’s been a couple of months since I had my last treatment, which didn’t cure me fully because of other issues I’ve just discovered may be the cause (allergies, etc.). It’s really amazing to have a doctor follow up on my health. I haven’t had this happen before since my childhood doctor! So happy to have found him and I’m sure you’ll be too.

Great pain management. Saw me right away and got me an appointment with a spine doctor right away to take care of my herniated disc!

I’ve been seeing Dr Marcus for almost a year now. He uses a very nontraditional method for long term chronic pain treatment, that is therapeutic (read: physical, reparative, myofascial) and not heavily reliant on pharmaceutical and their standard life-​long treatments.
the «Pain Institute» is large, clean, well decorated and comfortable. It is staffed by calm, extremely helpful, friendly people.
After several years, seeing experts, rheumatologists, specialists in 3 major cities, I was desperate to find a more direct and hands on Practice to get some relief, reliable care, if not some actual progress.
Im happy to report that this is the place. I’m not going to lie and say it was an easy or natural process. It wasn’t. And in so far as It was hard, I’m no easy patient either. The treatment is intense, unconventional, painful, time and financially demanding… and it takes a while to see major results.
But I’ve seen some pretty major shifts in how my body processes pain, the amount and distribution of pain, reduction of my reliance on medication, and an increase in function.
Note: I go about ¼ of frequently as suggested due to schedule, so my results likely took longer to accumulate
In my experience, this is a RARE and treasured thing.
It gets 4 stars because it is clearly not for everyone, but I am SOLIDLY impressed, and highly recommend it
