Jon K. Porter, MD

In my work with individuals suffering from chronic pain conditions, I am aware that the experience of chronic pain affects every aspect of an individual's life. The work of the Comprehensive Pain Program is to understand each person's story as fully as possible and to use the expertise of traditional medical and integrative clinicians to support them in achieving optimal comfort, function, wellness and empowerment in managing their condition.

I find my greatest satisfaction in developing relationships with my patients and supporting them in finding the best strategies for optimizing their health and sense of wellbeing. I value the privilege of serving as a member of a team that includes a diverse range of clinical expertise. 

My research interests include the effectiveness of integrative therapies in chronic pain and the use of trans-disciplinary teams in patient care.
