Pain Treatment Center
The
Pain Management Clinic is a multidisciplinary program in which
a team of specialists provide a wide spectrum of services to relieve
chronic pain. The pain management program is based on an initial
evaluation of the patient's condition, which includes a review
of the referring physician's findings, and diagnostic tests, a
detailed history and physical examination.
Diagnostic
and therapeutic procedures may then be performed and include:
epidural steroid injections, trigger point injections, peripheral
nerve blocks, acupuncture, osteopathic manipulative treatment,
placement of epidural catheters or intrathecal pumps for home
infusion therapy with local anesthetic and/or pain medicines,
neuroaugmentation implantable devices (spinal cord stimulators),
neurolytic nerve blocks, radiofrequency procedures, intradiscal
procedures, TENS, physical and occupational therapy,
biofeedback, therapeutic massage, medical hypnosis, pain medication
titration and maintenance, cognitive-behavioral techniques such
as individual, group, or family psychotherapy.
The Pain
Management Center is offered on an outpatient basis at Loyola
Outpatient Center, Oakbrook Terrace Medical Center, and the Cardinal
Bernardin Cancer Center.
