Where do you go when you continue to have pain, despite the fact that your injuries have healed and you’ve exhausted other forms of therapy such as medications, physical therapy or chiropractic services? The Pain Management Program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, the only multi-disciplinary pain center in the region, can help.

If you are experiencing chronic, nonmalignant pain that has not been alleviated effectively through traditional therapies, including medical, surgical and pharmacological interventions, you may be a candidate for The Pain Management Program. This four-week program involves a multi-disciplinary team of health care professionals who work together to develop an effective pain management program that incorporates psychological management of pain, as well as techniques such as biofeedback, mediation and relaxation. The program teaches patients coping skills and techniques to better manage pain throughout their daily lives so that they may return to activities associated with family, school or work. Our team of pain specialists includes clinical psychologists, physical therapists, women’s health physical therapists, nurses specializing in pain management, physician pain specialists and neurosurgeons.

Our Staff

The clinical staff of the Pain Management Program are specialists in the treatment of pain and related conditions that have not responded as expected to typical treatment interventions. Our staff treats each person as a ‘whole person’ not just a body part that hurts. In some cases, only one clinician may need to be involved or you may be informed that other health professionals need to be involved for the best treatment outcome.
