The Ohio Pain Clinic has launched a virtual clinic for its patients, complete with online physical therapy.
Amol Soin, MD, owner of Ohio Pain Clinic, introduced the online physical therapy program last week. The program is available at no cost to patients and is accessible through online videos and animations designed to teach various therapy exercises to patients in their own homes. Soin says the online therapy is the first-of-its-kind in the Dayton area.
The online physical therapy will give Soin the ability to track what his patients are doing at home by their log-in attempts and how long they spend with each exercise.
The Ohio Pain Clinic, which treats patients with back pain, migraine headaches, and other long-term problems, has three offices at Kemp Road in Beavercreek, on Kingsridge Drive behind the Dayton Mall and on Fairway Drive in Wilmington.
Last year, Soin created a software system for patients to access medical records with nearly $1 million from outside investors to pay for its development. The system is meant to ease patients’ access to records, make appointments, sign paperwork electronically, obtain medication refills and communicate online with staff without having to call or schedule an appointment. The system is specifically designed for the pain medicine industry, including specialized templates designed to ask specific questions to patients and physicians in the field.
“Healthcare is so expensive, and so much of that money is wasted on silly things, that I am just trying to make sure it is all secure and streamline the process to make it easier for everyone,” Soin says.
The Ohio Pain Clinic opened last February with a location in Beavercreek and one in Centerville. Soin opened his location in Wilmington this spring. He also sees patients at both Kettering Medical Center-Sycamore Hospital and Southview Hospital.
In five years, Soin says he would like to expand to have 10 offices throughout the region. His next office will likely be north of Dayton. The pain clinic sees an average of 150 patients a week and performs up to 60 minimally invasive procedures per week.
