Pain Treatment Center

The multi-disciplinary Pain Management Program includes a team of specialists who provide a wide range of services to relieve chronic, non-malignant and cancer pain, employing interventional, therapeutic, and behavioral approaches.  Physicians-in-training, residents, and fellows rotate through the chronic pain clinic for exposure to a wide variety of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.

Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures include: epidural steroid injections, trigger point injections, peripheral nerve blocks, placement of epidural catheters or intrathecal pumps for home infusion therapy with local anesthetic and/or pain medicines, neuroaugmentation implantable devices (spinal cord stimulators), neurolytic nerve blocks, radiofrequency procedures, intradiscal procedures, TENS, physical and occupational therapy, biofeedback, medical hypnosis, pain medication titration and maintenance, and cognitive-behavioral techniques such as individual, group, or family psychotherapy.

Pain management services are offered on an outpatient basis at the Loyola Outpatient Center, Center for Health at Homer Glen, the Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center, and the Burr Ridge Outpatient Center.
