-- The Interventional Pain and Physical Medicine Clinic (IPPMC) is introducing its Chronic Pain Program, an outpatient rehabilitation initiative designed to enhance the quality of life for people coping with chronic pain. The program offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to reduce pain and suffering while maximizing patient function and well-being.
IPPMC's Chronic Pain Program seeks to address the physical, emotional, and psychological impacts of chronic pain, focusing on reducing reliance on opioids and promoting long-term, sustainable coping strategies. The clinic's pain management services are centered on a team-based approach that integrates physicians, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, and psychologists to deliver holistic care.
A spokesperson for IPPMC shared, "Our Chronic Pain Program is about more than just managing symptoms. It's about empowering patients to regain control of their lives. Chronic pain can significantly affect one's mental and emotional health, and through this program, we aim to provide patients with the resources to manage pain in a healthier and more sustainable manner."
The two-week outpatient program is designed to help patients who have experienced chronic pain for at least six months and who are struggling with functional limitations in their daily lives. Patients will engage in strength training, aerobic exercises, cognitive-behavioral therapy, stress management, and medication management, all of which are key components of the program. These methodologies are specifically structured to address negative pain behaviors and cognitive restrictions that often accompany chronic pain, such as anxiety and depression.
"Chronic pain affects not only the body but also the mind," said the spokesperson. "By addressing both, our program offers patients a comprehensive approach to healing. Our goal is to help patients take control of their pain, improve their physical conditioning, and ultimately return to work and daily activities with improved quality of life."
In addition to the physical therapies offered, the Chronic Pain Program includes group discussion therapy, individual case management, and family group therapy. IPPMC encourages patients to involve a close family member or friend in their recovery journey, particularly during the final day of the program.
Admission to the program requires patients to meet specific criteria, such as experiencing chronic pain for at least six months and demonstrating a commitment to change, including discontinuing the use of narcotic medications. The clinic also emphasizes the importance of follow-up appointments after the program's completion to ensure long-term progress.
