About Arch Advanced Pain Management

Arch Advanced Pain Management (AAPM) is located in Saint Peters, MO. Our clinic is dedicated to the treatment of acute/chronic pain and sports medicine pain. The staff combined has decades of experience in this area.

Pain affects more Americans than diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined. At least 100 million adult Americans have chronic pain conditions, a conservative estimate since it does not include recent pain or children in pain. Chronic pain is pain that exists beyond the normal healing process.

Arch Advanced Pain Management is a holistic pain program that takes the entire patient into consideration. Patients seeking treatment at AAPM are assured of receiving only the finest and up-to-date care through the use of rehabilitative techniques, imaging, medications and interventional techniques as required.

AAPM was founded by Dr. James Sturm. He is triple board certified in Anesthesiology, Pain Medicine and Interventional Pain Management. He performed his anesthesia training at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and his pain fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in 1996.

• To offer therapies and solutions to our patients based on a holistic approach, keeping in mind the risks and benefits of those therapies.
