All types of pain are treated here, from chronic to short-term to acute presentations that require swift action. Bringing together the expertise of doctors, nurses, pain psychologists, and integrative specialists, we customize each child’s pain management plan.
We use a range of proven, child-safe methods to ease and eliminate pain caused by procedures, treatments, and conditions.
Medication easily taken by mouth with minimal side effects, like i+paringly and only for severe, unmanageable pain.
Medicated ointments or patches applied to the skin’s surface can numb underlying nerves, delivering temporary relief for pain in a contained area.
A local anesthetic injected near the nerves that transmit pain signals can block pain for up to 36 hours.
Medications injected into tight, painful knots in muscles can relax them, relieving pain for days or even months.
Epidurals provide strong pain relief by continuously delivering medication through a tube in the lower back. They can numb larger areas, like the legs or abdomen.
A small device surgically implanted in the abdomen can dispense medication directly to the fluid surrounding the spinal cord, providing strong, widespread pain relief.
Needles are children’s number one fear and can leave them traumatized for life.
We promise to do everything possible to prevent and treat needle pain. For every child. Every time.
Our team uses gentle, effective pain-relief approaches that ease the injection experience. Topical desensitization plus simple soothing and distraction techniques tailored to a child’s age alleviates the distress of facing blood draws, IVs, and vaccines for our young patients every day.
