Dr. Slocum and his team believe in continuity of care and consistently work with both traditional and alternative providers including Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, Acupuncturists, and Massage Therapists to find the most successful treatment options for their patients. He has an acute understanding of how chronic pain can limit quality of life for his patients and works diligently to discover individualized treatment options to help them return to the lives they want to live. 

Dr. Slocum is also incorporating Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Adipose Derived Regenerative Cell Transfer (Lipogems) treatments into his practice to help speed healing and enhance repair by speeding tissue regeneration, and by decreasing inflammation. These treatments are FDA approved and are minimally invasive. Backed by research and strong clinical evidence, these treatments may also lower the risk of infection.
