Abstract

Working within a multidisciplinary unit at the Pain Management Center for the treatment of a chronic pain syndrome is a very satisfying experience. The underlying theme in our approach is behavior modification. The program's objective is not to eliminate pain but rather to extinguish pain behavior by emphasizing learning to live and function despite pain. We have based our physical therapy program on the concepts of general body conditioning, self-motivation and self-regulation, and patient education. These elements are implemented within the context of of behavior modification. We have found our program to be an effective alternative to the traditional treatment of chronic pain.
