Chronic Pain

Finding Relief Beyond Medications and Surgery

At Camarillo Functional Health, we take a comprehensive approach to chronic pain management. Pain is not just a symptom — it’s often the result of inflammation, nerve dysfunction, immune dysregulation, or structural imbalance. Instead of masking pain with medications, we uncover the root causes and use advanced, non-invasive therapies to restore function and provide lasting relief.

Our Approach to Chronic Pain

We integrate Functional Medicine, Functional Neurology, genetics, and immunology to identify why pain persists. Our evaluation looks at:

  • Inflammation and immune system activity

  • Nerve function and pain signaling in the brain and spinal cord

  • Mitochondrial and cellular energy production

  • Hormonal and metabolic imbalances that worsen pain

  • Structural stress on the spine and joints

From there, we design a personalized treatment plan combining advanced therapies, lifestyle strategies, and neurological rehabilitation.

Conditions We Support

  • Spinal stenosis, herniated and degenerative discs

  • Neuropathy and nerve-related pain

  • Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue-related pain

  • Arthritis and degenerative joint conditions

  • Sciatica, low back pain, and neck pain

  • Migraines, tension headaches, and TMJ dysfunction

  • Post-surgical pain and scar tissue adhesions

Therapies We Use

  • Shockwave Therapy to stimulate tissue repair and reduce pain

  • Spinal Decompression for disc-related pain and nerve compression

  • Cold Laser Therapy to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing

  • PEMF Therapy to restore cellular energy and circulation

  • Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair

  • Vagus Nerve Stimulation to calm pain pathways and reduce stress response

  • Neurofeedback and Brain-Based Exercises to retrain the brain’s pain signaling patterns
