Treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation and continues by meeting the medical, nutritional, and psychological needs of the individual. The Headache Program is designed to help people who have frequent and severe headaches, which are not responding to medication alone and are interfering with their quality of life. Our multi-disciplinary approach to treatment of this problem includes medical management, biofeedback, physical therapy, and psychological support. The Pain Management Program provides multi-disciplinary treatment for patients who have prolonged pain. Such conditions include musculoskeletal pain, chronic headaches, sympathetically mediated pain, neuropathies, fibromyalgia, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, and abdominal and pelvic pain.
Treatment includes biofeedback, psychotherapy, physical therapy, and medications.
Referrals to appropriate specialists are made when necessary. The Psychology and Religion Program is a nationally recognized service of St. Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute. It is a collection of multi-disciplinary evaluation and treatment options for clergy and religious persons. Its primary client base is Roman Catholic, but the program is open to all faith traditions and denominations. There is a conscious effort to integrate psychological, spiritual, and medical approaches to healing.
