Behavioral Health

Once persistent pain evolves into complex chronic pain, single modality treatments—oral medications, injections, physical therapy—become less effective. In these complicated cases, physical, psychosocial, and emotional components are active and must be addressed simultaneously in a multidisciplinary chronic pain program for effective recovery.
