Comprehensive Pain Relief Group (CPRG) is a unique multi-specialty group that utilizes a unique type of medicine for chronic pain sufferers called integrative pain management. The corporation was formed by Gregory A. Smith, MD, QME in 2001.  “I got tired of working in a bureaucratic system that did not help the patient and in many cases created pain patients, so I started my own company”

One look at the healthcare professionals that are part of CPRG immediately shows the diversity of care and services that we offer. We utilize integrative pain management. This means that traditional conventional methods are combined with cutting-edge technology and alternative pain management modalities to produce the answers and results that no one else can offer to pain patients. Nutrition and weight control is an example of an often overlooked way of pain control. The majority of the US population is overweight and over a one third qualify as being obese. These extra pounds can directly and indirectly cause or exacerbate pain . Studies have shown that being overweight increases risk of injury on the job and can cause and/or exacerbate low back and joint pain. Poor nutrition can also cause or worsen existing pain as can smoking. Conventional medicine usually ignores factors like these and alternative medicine often ignores effective conventional treatments for pain. The end results are competing approaches for treating pain where the big loser is the patient. Integrative pain management pulls the best of all types of pain medicine to give chronic pain sufferers the best opportunity to improve.

For patients that are injured on the job our goals are to minimize injury loss time and  return workers to their pre-injury state as soon as possible. We utilize cutting-edge technology such as class IV lasers that are currently only available in a handful of places in the United States. These lasers are painless and can reduce swelling and pain in acute injuries in a matter of minutes. They are also effective for chronic pain and can be administered in the office setting. We use nutrition as medicine and utilize conventional as well as alternative diagnostic tools such as Iridology and live blood cell analysis. For more severe patients that require invasive procedures, the vast majority of the time procedures can be done percutaneously (through the skin) without cutting or scarring.

We specialize in dealing with the refractory pain patient that has seemingly failed all treatment. CPRG  utilizes NESP™ long-term pain programs, narcotic detoxification and other comprehensive programs.  These programs along with out integrative approach completely distinguishes CPRG from any other medical group or physician who claims to be “pain management” We have clinics in multiple California locations such as  Laguna Hills, Gardena, Redondo Beach, Long Beach, West Hills, Lancaster Montebello and Fresno. New clinics are opening in Bakersfield, and Visalia. For out of state patients we have relationships with neighboring hotels for special reduced rates for patients.

Finally, CPRG respects and values your privacy. Whether you are being seen for a prescription narcotic addiction or refractory chronic pain, the reason for your visit will be kept in strict confidence.
