Program
MISSION
STATEMENT:
Our mission
is to
provide
coordinated,
comprehensive
rehabilitation
to individuals
suffering
chronic
pain syndrome.
A functional
restoration
model
addressing
physical
deconditioning,
body mechanics,
pain behaviors,
inappropriate
medication
use, psychological
and social
factors
inhibiting
recovery
is employed.
This is
in contrast
to the
palliative
measures
that have
been proven
ineffective
in restoring
normal
functioning
in this
patient
population.
DISCHARGE
CRITERION:
- Patients
may
be discharged
at any
time
for
non-compliance
with
the
program;
this
may
mean
failure
to attend
or failure
to progress
in treatment.
- The
patient
has
completed
the
four
week
program
and
is determined
to be
at MMI.
- The
patient
has
achieved
the
Physical
Demand
Level
specified
and
has
met
other
treatment
goals
set
during
treatment
planning.
- Ideally,
the
patient
will
have
met
some
or all
of these
treatment
objectives
outlined
above.
