Our Goal

Our primary goal is to help individuals with chronic pain to reach their highest functional capacity. We accomplish this by:

• Assisting and educating patients in better understanding their pain

• Demonstrating and implementing means of improving function and activity

• Educating in traditional, complementary and holistic approaches to pain

• Optimizing medication usage

• Assisting in return to productive activity — employment or otherwise

Referral and Evaluation Process

Patients are referred directly by their physician, nurse case manager, other healthcare provider, insurance carrier or attorney. Patients are evaluated first by a physician, then by a pain psychologist and physical therapist. The evaluation team then meets with the full clinical staff to make treatment recommendations.

Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is a disease—a condition that can inhibit normal functioning and interfere with family life, productive employment, and healthy social relationships. Auburn Pain Rehabilitation Medical Clinic provides an interdisciplinary approach to the treatment of chronic pain. Our program employs a biopsychosocial model combining psychological counseling, physical therapy, biobehavioral therapy, and medication management along with group support and counseling, group relaxation and exercise, and educational lectures.

We teach general methods of pain relief and control, as well as specific methods to improve functioning and quality of life.
