Chronic Pain Management

Type of Rehab: Outpatient
Location(s): Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center

Avera McKennan offers the region's most comprehensive and advanced options for the relief of acute pain and management of chronic pain.

Our dual programming approach, consisting of both pain treatment and our CARF-accredited Comprehensive Behavioral Pain Management Program, can teach you how to manage your pain and your life.

Pain management involves changing daily living habits and patterns of communication, coping with stress and dealing with emotions. Patients' families are encouraged to become part of the process of change, as their attitudes and behaviors are important for the patient's success.

A combination of education, rehabilitative therapy, counseling and behavioral treatment results in patients reaching higher level of functional independence. This program is offered with a personal or occupational approach depending on the needs of the patient.
