Find a pain rehabilitation program
Pain rehabilitation programs have been shown to be both efficacious and cost-effective. Please review and compare programs before attending - not all programs are the same. Interdisciplinary programs based on the biopsychosocial model with an emphasis on self-management are the gold standard. Learn more about ​interdisciplinary treatment, read my blog post, and read about my experience at the Mayo Clinic.
