Pain Management

Patient outcomes show that treatments for pain that combine medical, rehabilitative, and behavioral therapies often yield greater results than using a single approach.

UT Southwestern Medical Center is one of the few pain management centers in Texas with onsite pain specialists, behavioral medicine specialists, and physical therapists. Our program uses therapies and treatment plans derived from the latest scientific advances.

The involvement of outstanding clinicians in many disciplines allows UT Southwestern to remain at the forefront in the rapidly evolving field of interventional and noninterventional pain management. Our program combines state-of-the-art medical, behavioral, and rehabilitative therapy designed to:

  • Accelerate your return to normal daily activities
  • Decrease or eliminate the disability caused by pain
  • Eliminate excessive reliance on medication or ineffective therapies
  • Increase function despite pain
  • Minimize physical and emotional suffering

By learning advanced coping skills and other behavioral techniques to help control pain, our patients have achieved remarkable pain treatment outcomes.

Patients with pain-related psychological conditions can also be treated by our mental health service.
