Pain Management
The pain management program provides care for people experiencing ongoing or chronic pain. Common diagnoses treated by the pain team include:
- Back pain
- Joint pain
- Reflex sympathetic dystrophy
- Neck pain
- Post surgical pain
- Myofascial pain
- Cancer pain
Patients referred to the program are evaluated by a core team which consists of an anesthesiologist, physiatrist, psychologist, physical and occupational therapist, nurse and social worker. Consults are available from a variety of health specialists including a psychiatrist, substance abuse counselor and dietitian.
Patients are involved in treatment planning and goal setting. Patient's goals are identified during the intake assessment, and the team evaluation is completed with these in mind. The treatment plan is formulated and implemented with the patient’s agreement and progress conferences are held monthly or more frequently as necessary to evaluate and revise the initial plan.
