Challenge 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.
