Pain Institute of Central California is the premier pain management provider of the San Joaquin Valley and has been operating in Bakersfield since 1992. The clinic focuses on delivering the least invasive, highest standard of care to improve outcomes, quality of life, functional capacity, and comfort for patients who are suffering from pain caused by acquired or congenital conditions. Our clinic is NOT a “pill mill practice”.  Our healthcare providers believe in minimal reliance on oral pain medications in order to prevent long-term dependence. The emphasis at Pain Institute of Central California is diagnosing and treating patients’ conditions for the purpose of achieving long term results, as opposed to simply medicating their symptoms.   The clinic’s goal is to offer patients quality healthcare in a professional manner through the use of a multi-disciplinary approach.
