Greetings from Boulder Pain Care!

Dr. Burns is not your typical pain doctor.  She has a unique approach with how she evaluates and treats each patient. For many years, she worked solely as a traditional physician where she treated patients with the same diagnosis in the same way with disregard to each patient’s unique genetic make-up, environmental exposures, and cellular physiology. She found this traditional pain medicine model of treatment missed the mark in effectively resolving the pain. For the past several years. Dr. Burns has had great success in treating her patients with both a traditional and functional medicine approach. Briefly, she evaluates each patient, as an individual, to discover where and why they continue to have pain. Thereafter, her treatment is specific to treating the underlying source of pain. She often finds interventional pain procedures may be an approach that is necessary to calm down inflammation. Dr. Burns has experience with all kinds of conditions including neck, back, joint, headaches, fibromyalgia, and cancer pain. She is board-certified in Pain Medicine and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. She is one of two physicians in the state of Colorado that has an advanced certification: American Board of Interventional Pain Physicians and is a Fellow of Interventional Pain Practice (FIPP) through the World Institute of Pain.
