Over the past 20 years, Dr. Ragukonis has developed Bergen Pain Management into a premiere minimally invasive pain management practice with emphasis on minimally invasive spinal techniques.

Generally, pain management is seen as an interim step to avoid, or at least delay more radical procedures and give the patient a better quality of life. Until recently pain was considered only a symptom of a condition or a natural part of the aging process. Today we understand that certain types of pain should be treated as a primary illness. Ongoing pain is harmful to the body and adversely affects your quality of life. When pain is properly treated and lessened, stress is reduced and the body heals faster.
