Center for Pain Management
When you feel pain, it’s hard to think about anything else. You try ignore it, to tough it out. But you can’t. It wreaks havoc with your body. Your mind. Your sense of well being. That’s why we have specialists who can help you manage ongoing pain so you can get back to your normal lifestyle.
You’ll find that help at Elmhurst Memorial Healthcare’s Center for Pain Management. The first step is a diagnostic evaluation by a board-certified anesthesiologist to determine the cause of the pain and the best course of treatment.
Once that’s done, you’ll work with a multi-disciplinary team trained in the most advanced healing techniques (i.e., physical and psychological therapies, relaxation treatments and medications). These professionals specialize in relieving, and often eliminating, pain.
We have the skills and resources to treat a number of conditions, including:
- Cancer pain
- Chronic abdominal pain
- Head and neck pain, including trigeminal neuralgia and cervical facet pain
- Lower and upper extremity pain, including sciatica, pirformis syndrome and Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
- Nerve entrapment
- Other acute and chronic pain syndromes
- Pain from shingles
- Pelvic pain
- Phantom limb syndrome
- Thoracic and lower back pain, including failed back syndrome
