Pain Center
We're here for you
The goal of our multidisciplinary, comprehensive Pain Center program is to help manage patients’ chronic pain and restore their functional capabilities. To decide on the best course of treatment, our neurologists, neurosurgeons, physiatrists and neuropsychologists conduct a thorough patient evaluation. This entails identification of the mechanisms of pain, its intensity and duration, and assessments of functional ability and quality of life. This is followed by a thorough physical examination along with any needed imaging
The goals of our multidisciplinary pain management approach are to:
- Manage your pain through medication trials and/or nerve block procedures
- Strengthen your body with a wide variety of physical rehabilitation techniques
- Empower you with psychological help for dealing with the negative consequences of chronic pain
- Treat your whole person
The ideal treatment for pain is to eliminate the underlying cause of your pain. Sometimes, this is not possible, and treatment must concentrate on the symptoms. A customized pain management plan can help you learn to utilize medications more effectively and practice techniques that can increase coping skills and promote a return to a more normal lifestyle.
