PAIN MANAGEMENT

OVERVIEW

Pain is a normal but unpleasant and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. Pain management at USC is provided by physical therapists dedicated to identifying and treating pain using comprehensive care for patients with both acute and chronic pain.

Our treatment focuses on utilizing current, evidence-based methods in pain science along with physical rehabilitation to improve daily function, increase mobility, minimize and manage pain, and increase strength, stability and flexibility while preventing disease progression.

Our goal is to develop lifelong pain management success for every patient through a multifaceted, comprehensive and patient-centered care plan. Every patient receiving physical therapy from USC’s pain management program receives a detailed evaluation of their medical history and condition, which helps in developing a customized treatment plan.
