About the Pain Management Clinic

Pain is often an unpleasant, temporary result of a disease or injury. But for many people, their suffering persists long after the disease is treated or the injury has healed.

Carlisle Regional’s Pain Management Clinic’s goal for each patient is to:

• Provide an overview of treatment options.
• Improve the patient’s ability to complete daily activities.
• Help patients take an active role in their prescribed treatment.

The Pain Management Clinic will strive to reduce your pain to a tolerable level, maximize optimal functioning, and minimize the use of your pain medications if possible. A multidisciplinary approach is utilized in which medication, physical therapy, nerve blocks, and other supportive services or treatment modalities are readily available.

Receiving treatment at the Pain Management Clinic will give you a positive outlook in regaining control of your life.
