Addiction, chronic pain and diabetes are treated together because all three share one root: metabolic syndrome. The treatment plan fixes the pain paths, reworks nutrition and increases movement and exercise.

Dr. Gurpreet Singh Padda, MD, MBA, MHP is an interventional pain specialist, and in his treatment has often found co-occurring addiction and diabetes. His practice is dedicated to working with, reducing, and in many cases curing all three – identifying and fixing pain paths, reworking patient nutrition and increasing movement and exercise. He has clear recommendations on fixing your diet and exercise regimen, which have met with great success.
