Dr. James H Gruft

I have been a patient of Dr Grufts’s for more than a decade. I have several chronic health conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, chronic neck pain, fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. Dr Gruft has always been compassionate and gone above and beyond to provide the most comprehensive pain management. He is willing to try different medications, supplements and therapy until the right combination is found. I’d recommend his practice to anyone struggling with chronic pain

I am a physician myself. I have a chronic low back pain condition that is literally crippling me and required narcotics to control. I had surgery, injections, and even an implanted electronic stimulator, but my pain was still was not controlled. Dr. Gruft does not do surgery, procedures or injections. Instead, his approach integrates the services of a psychologist, physical therapist, and medications to help you get back to a normal life. He does not avoid narcotics if you need them. It took almost 7 months, but under his care I am back to a normal life, though I still have some physical disability due to my failed back surgery syndrome. With his help I went from pain to wellness.

Dr Gruff is amazing not only does he treat your pain he works with nutritionists and psychologists to treat your whole body not just your pain

Fantastic Clinic - Dr Gruft takes a long assessment at the initial consultation. I was looking at surgery but was able to get back to normal thanks to his awesome team. The physical therapy team includes Dr. Kennedy and Marge and they were really experienced and wonderful.

There is no doubt that Dr. Gruft & his team are the best in the country. I've battled chronic back pain for decades & more recently had spinal surgery. I was fortunate to attend Dr. Gruft's 'kick-start to wellness' program earlier this year. A full month working with physical therapists, nutritionists & nursing all aimed at understanding pain management, strengthening my body & learning about the mind-body connections. I am so grateful to Dr. Gruft and his team!!

From Pain to Wellness is the best pain clinic around, best doctors, physical therapists and health practitioners that I’ve had the privilege of working with and meeting. A shout out to Dr. James Gruft, the physiatrist I consulted (and the brains behind this clinic): He is friendly, compassionate, knowledgeable (dare I write “brilliant”!). His approach to healing pain is, in my mind, on the cutting edge of today’s medical understanding. He focuses on healing pain not only with traditional medicine but also with a mind / body component. Good health happens, he says, when the body, mind, and emotions are healed. He emphasizes good nutrition, physical exercise, as well as mental and emotional healing along with the traditional use of medications to relieve symptoms. I’ve never felt better, more whole and focused on my health; I’m more balanced and am beginning to understand how pain has a complex relationship to different aspects of my whole being. Thanks to Dr. Gruft—whom I admire and respect—thanks for getting me back on my journey toward feeling great every day. And to the entire staff at From Pain to Wellness, you know who you are, and you’re fantastic! Also, I’ve enrolled my father (age 86 . . . wow!) in the Jumpstart Program at From Pain to Wellness which really focuses on reintegrating the body, mind, and emotional life of a patient. Anyway, Eddie is going to the program to gain physical strength and mobility. Eddie says, “I give the Jumpstart program and its doctors a 10+ on a scale from 1-10. This is a unique program and facility. I’m impressed with the practitioners, and I look forward to each day I attend.” Eddie wants to give a shout out and big thank you to Dr. Gruft, Dr. Duggal, to Allie (the director) and to his fantastic physical therapist Saddakar!
