therapy, education, acupuncture, physical and
occupational therapy, psychological support,
and lifestyle and exercise counseling. When
more invasive treatments are needed, Dr. Lipson
offers a variety of types of trigger point injections,
peripheral nerve blocks and ablation
therapies. For those patients who need narcotics,
she provides careful monitoring.
Dr. Lipson’s unique background in internal
medicine and anesthesiology allows her to
understand the interplay of multiple medical
issues and their impact on the human body.
Thus, she often has different ideas on how
to approach pain, particularly when standard
treatments have failed to work. Recovery is
also greatly impacted by emotions, and so Dr.
Lipson addresses issues of depression, sleep
disruption, and physical therapy along with
other approaches.
Dr. Lipson says, “there is no reason to suffer
in silence or to feel no one understands your
pain.”

Pain is invasive and insidious. Acute pain
(less than six months) creates panic; chronic
pain destroys hope. Nationally, over 100 million
Americans suffer from chronic pain. On the
personal level, pain threatens to destroy everything
you hold dear: stamina, work, recreation,
relationships, self-esteem, and joy. When you
are in pain, even the most enjoyable moments
are diminished. Unfortunately, in the rush to
treat the underlying condition, a patient’s pain
is often sidelined as of secondary importance,
when to the patient, it is of primary concern.
Coming from a family of doctors, Dr. Ana Lipson
was halfway through her training to be an
internist when she realized that her calling was
to focus on pain management. The mission
statement of her medical practice, the Lipson
Pain Institute, conveys her passion — “Relieving
Pain, Changing Lives” — for the relief of
pain has that profound effect on people.
Pain management is a relatively new specialty,
and Dr. Lipson’s practice has paralleled its
pain management specialist in Lakeland and
establishes with her patients. A life-long Polk
Countian, she thinks of her community as her
extended family and does everything possible
to impact positively the lives of her patients.
Dr. Lipson is energized by her conviction that
no matter what a patient’s condition, there is
always something she can do to make that
person better. Rather than rely solely on narcotics
and injections to relieve pain, Dr. Lipson
provides a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary
approach which includes use of noninvasive
