Chronic Pain Management
Chronic pain is a complex and debilitating condition affecting millions of people worldwide. The cause of chronic pain cannot be narrowed down to one root cause, since the experience of pain itself is complex and depends on multiple factors. At IOCH we understand how important it is to look at the unique biological, psychological, and social factors relevant to a person living with a condition associated with chronic pain.

Our Chronic Pain Treatment Program
At IOCH, we do our best to provide hope to those struggling with chronic pain. A majority of our clients are individuals who have tried numerous other interventions or rehab clinics with limited success. Our chronic pain program is designed to teach you practical skills that are responsible for REAL change for people who are struggling.
Our chronic pain program has proven results to help you move toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life. By using the world-renowned Human Rehabilitation Framework (HRF), one of our highly qualified chronic pain treatment specialists will complete a thorough, personalized evaluation that goes over your full history, your physical exam, a movement exam, and learns about the unique interconnected factors that make you, YOU.
From there, they will help you to develop a comprehensive plan to move forward. This plan includes:
- Creating a functional diagnosis
- Measuring progress
- Building skills and strategies that are specifically targeted to your unique needs
- Ensuring that your process and journey are meaningful and fulfilling
Most of our clients have seen at least 6 other healthcare providers with little improvement or worsening function before coming to us. On average, our clients demonstrate 25–50% improvements in their personalized, quality of life measures in just 7 visits!
