Pediatric Pain Management Center

Chronic pain can take all the joy out of life, especially for children. Experts at the Pediatric Pain Management Center at Goryeb Children's Hospital employ an interdisciplinary approach to outpatient pain management, helping children and adolescents lead more comfortable, happier lives.

Every patient is assessed by a board-certified pediatric pain medicine physician. Patients may also be evaluated by a pediatric psychologist and/or a pediatric physical therapist, if necessary. Our clinicians follow a true multidisciplinary approach, collaborating on individualized treatment plans to address the different needs of children with chronic disabling pain conditions.
