How does OSF handle chronic pain management?

OSF approaches chronic pain management through a multidisciplinary approach involving different healthcare professionals. This method recognizes that chronic pain is a complex condition influenced by a variety of physical, psychological, and social factors. By integrating the expertise of various specialists, such as pain management physicians, physical therapists, psychologists, and occupational therapists, OSF can provide comprehensive care tailored to each patient's unique situation.

This holistic perspective allows for the development of personalized treatment plans that include medical interventions, physical rehabilitation, psychological support, and lifestyle changes. The aim is to address not only the physical symptoms of pain but also the emotional and behavioral aspects that can affect a patient's experience and management of pain. By coordinating efforts across disciplines, OSF ensures that patients receive well-rounded care, enhancing their ability to cope with and overcome the challenges of chronic pain.
