Pain clinics, often are associated with a teaching hospital or university medical school, use a team of
"experts" that might include a neurologist, an anesthesiologist, a physical therapist, and a psychologist, among others.
The team prepares a systematic treatment plan, often involving several different forms of treatment at once.
The goals are not only to reduce pain and speed recovery, but also to restore normal function. The combination of
physical and psychological approaches can help you cope with your condition and carry on with your life, even
if you haven't completely recovered.
