The Center provides evaluation and treatment for a wide variety of painful conditions. Whether the patient is suffering from acute pain following surgery or trauma, chronic pain or cancer-related pain, effective treatment is possible. In the past, physicians often hesitated to prescribe pain-relieving medication or refer patients for specialized pain care because they feared medications might interfere with recovery or lead to drug dependency. We now know the reverse is true. Pain is not a trivial symptom and should not be ignored.
Research shows pain is a potent stressor that interferes with normal recovery and functioning.
When pain is controlled, patients suffer less, sleep better and have more vitality to enjoy daily activities.
