A Model of Compassion and Excellence.

Pain is an unpleasant physical and emotional experience that affects millions of Americans from the very young to the very old .

Acute and chronic pain are associated with increased levels of stress, de-conditioning and sleep disturbance. Untreated pain leads to physical impairment and emotional suffering.

The Pain Medicine Center at the University of Chicago Medical Center upholds the mission to provide superior healthcare in a compassionate manner, always mindful of each patient's dignity and individuality. To this end, our staff of board certified Anesthesiologists and Pain Specialists provides individualized treatment plans focusing on physical improvement, and enhanced quality of life.
