April is Stress Awareness Month

Stress and pain often go hand in hand. When stress builds, the body can become more sensitive to discomfort, making pain feel worse.

Taking small steps like walking, stretching, or simply pausing to breathe can help reset your system. Managing stress isn’t just good for your mind, it can improve how your body feels too.

What if your pain isn’t just in your back… but in how

your brain processes the world around you?

“Studies like this reinforce what we see every day in

practice. Chronic pain is not just a structural issue, it’s

a complex interaction between the body and the brain.

That’s why our approach focuses not only on targeted

procedures, but also on helping patients retrain how

their nervous system responds to pain. When we

address both, outcomes improve.”

—Arpan Patel, MD

Chronic back pain causes the brain to amplify everyday sounds, but Pain Reprocessing Therapy can "turn down the volume."

Collaborative Care, Not Competition

Pain specialists and surgeons often work together. The goal isn’t to compete with surgery—it’s to make sure patients have access to the full spectrum of evidence-based options.

A pain specialist helps answer important questions:

· Is surgery necessary right now?

· Are there less invasive options worth trying first?

· How can pain be better managed before and after surgery?

When both teams collaborate, patients benefit from clearer decisions, more personalized care, and better long-term outcomes.

With over 20 years of nursing experience, I’ve dedicated my career to caring for others and making a difference in my community. I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees through Western Governors University and later advanced my education at Chamberlain University in Chicago by becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner.

I chose to specialize in pain management because I have a deep passion for helping people living with chronic pain. My goal is to support patients in finding effective, compassionate care and safe alternatives to opioids when possible.

I’m proud to be part of the amazing team at Edgerton Pain and Spine Center and to work alongside Dr. Patel, helping our patients improve their quality of life every day.

Hello! I'm pleased to meet you. One of my favorite aspects of working in Pain Management is witnessing the significant progress our patients achieve. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, taking motorcycle rides with my husband, and spending quality time with my family.
