Our Interdisciplinary Chronic Pain Management Program is designed to help person's who have chronic pain, complex medical and psychological conditions, and have not responded to normal work injury medical treatment.

These patients may have pain that has persisted beyond the expected healing time and subsequently has become chronic. As a result, Pain becomes a central part of the patient’s life.
Misuse and dependency of narcotics and alcohol may have also complicated their healing process.

In addition, these patients may have complex psychological disorder complicated by physical, job, and vocational loss caused by their injury.

Treatment with a Team Approach helps to avoid the following:

-The condition can further deteriorate.

-The patient has a loss of interest in family and friends.
-The patient has sexual, marital, and family dysfunction.
-The patient can become suicidal due to severe depression.
-Sleep and weight problems can occur.
