At APAC, our goal is to provide the most advanced and compassionate care to patients in pain. We understand and will help you cope with the physical and the psychological aspects of your pain. We also understand that your pain may be adding to financial, relationship, and work related stressors. We treat you comprehensively keeping in mind these additional stressors.
Our goal is to improve your function level so pain does not consume you. As our patient, we will teach you how to regain control of your symptoms and your life. Pain is very personal. It cannot be easily measured or quantified. It may come on as a result of injury or disease. It may be adversely affected by stress, age, or complicated by other medical conditions.

Services
We utilize interventional approaches (injections) to treat painful conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, nerve injuries from trauma or surgery, occipital headaches, shoulder pain, arthritic joint pain, and sympathetic nerve pain. We also provide surgical interventions such as spinal cord stimulators, discographies, and Radiofrequency Ablations.
Dr. King is the founding member of APAC. He completed his Anesthesiology Residency at the University of Washington, where he had the opportunity to be mentored by one of the pioneers of pain management, Dr. John Bonica. Dr. King has directed acute and chronic pain services at major hospitals and surgery centers for over 30 years.
The human spine is comprised of 24 vertebrae separated from each other by discs that serve as shock absorbers and provide flexibility of the spine. In addition, they serve to allow adequate space for spinal nerves to exit, providing sensation and movement to all parts of the body. If you have ever been in a car crash and experienced pain in your neck, you have most likely had whiplash.
An epidural block is an injection of pain medication into the epidural space, the area around your spinal cord and spinal nerves. The medicine stops the nerves from transmitting pain signals, providing pain relief. This block is performed after numbing the area with a local anesthetic. Using fluoroscopy, a moving X-ray for guidance, the physician directs a needle toward the epidural space.
It can be stressful whenever you come into the doctor's office for the first time. You wonder, Will they really take good care of me? Do they have my best interests at heart? When you arrive for your APAC visit, you will immediately know that you are in a friendly and caring environment. You can be assured that you will be treated with respect and compassion because that is part of our culture.

Report
I bought a roll of your clear film FF2442 this morning at Bybrook Barn in Ashford, Kent. It is 750 mm x 20 meter.
To give my true opinion would not be an acceptable word! It tears when I look at it, cannot be cut without splitting off and tearing. It is useless and not worth the £3.75 I paid for it. I hope your other customers read this.
I have awarded you one star only because you don't have a way of awarding any less!.
