What Is a Pain Management Clinic?
They're health care facilities that focus on the diagnosis and management of chronic pain. There are two kinds. One focuses on procedures to deal with specific types of pain, like neck and back pain.
The other, sometimes called an interdisciplinary clinic, takes an approach that looks at the whole person.
Often, your team may include:
- Nurses and doctors
- Psychologists
- Physical therapists
- Occupational and vocational therapists
- Nutritionists and dietitians
In addition to medications, these clinics can help you manage pain with physical, behavioral, and psychological therapies.
They also may teach you about your pain, coach you on lifestyle changes, and offer complementary or alternative medicine. These can include:
- Acupuncture
- Biofeedback
- Cognitive behavioral therapy
- Water therapy
- Massage
- Meditation
