Science-guided, cash-pay wellness coaching to help pain interfere less with your daily life—beyond pills and procedures.
Southern Interventional Pain Center is partnering with Shokat Wellness Academy to offer a limited 8-Week Pain Wellness Pilot Program. This is a wellness coaching and education program that focuses on food, sleep, stress, and gentle movement. It is separate from your medical care at SIPC and is not billed to Medicare or insurance.
Who This Program Is For
This pilot may be a good fit if you:
- Have chronic pain for 3 months or longer (back, neck, joint, nerve, fibromyalgia, etc.).
- Are tired of being told “just live with it” and want to try lifestyle changes that fit real life in South Georgia/North Florida.
- Can participate in weekly 1-on-1 coaching sessions by phone or video.
- Understand this is a cash-pay wellness program, separate from your regular SIPC care.
This program is not a good fit if you:
- Need urgent medical or surgical evaluation right now.
- Are looking for new prescriptions or changes to your current medications.
- Cannot commit to basic weekly check-ins for 8 weeks.
What You’ll Do Over 8 Weeks
You’ll have weekly 1-on-1 calls with your coach (phone or video). Each week builds on the last:
- Understand how chronic pain works and start simple tracking.
- Build a personalized, color-coded food plan (FoodPharmacy®).
- Improve sleep routines and pick one “non-negotiable” sleep habit.
- Learn stress tools, calm the nervous system, and review progress.
- Design a tiny, safe movement plan and a flare-day backup plan.
- Connect gut/food triggers with pain and, if chosen, review wellness labs.
- Create a “Good Day / Bad Day” playbook (Core 4 habits).
- Review results, finalize your long-term plan, and graduate.
What’s Included
Your 8-week pilot enrollment includes:
- Eight 1-on-1 coaching sessions (phone or video).

What This Program Is NOT
To keep everything clear:
- This is not a replacement for your medical care at SIPC.
- This program does not:
- Diagnose medical conditions
- Prescribe or adjust medications
- Manage emergencies or urgent symptoms
- It is not billed to Medicare or any insurance.
- Any questions about medications or medical conditions must go through your SIPC doctor or other medical providers.
If you have new or worsening symptoms such as sudden weakness, numbness, chest pain, shortness of breath, or loss of bowel/bladder control, call your doctor, go to urgent care, or call 911. Do not wait for a wellness coaching session.

Quick FAQ
Is this covered by Medicare or my insurance?
No. This is a cash-pay wellness coaching program and is not billed to Medicare or any insurance.
Will this change my medications?
No. This program does not change or manage prescriptions. Any medication changes are made by you and your SIPC doctor or other medical providers.
Can I still get injections or procedures at SIPC?
Yes. This program is meant to complement your medical care at SIPC, not replace it.
Can I do this if I don’t live near the office?
Yes. Most sessions are done by phone or secure video, as long as you can reliably join weekly.
What if my pain suddenly gets much worse or I have scary symptoms?
New or worsening red-flag symptoms should go to your doctor, urgent care, or the ER—not the wellness program. We’ll remind you of this during the program.
