Nebraska Medicine has an expert team of doctors dedicated to the comprehensive treatment of acute and chronic pain conditions. Our goal is to focus on the whole patient when designing a treatment plan individualized for you.
Chronic pain is defined as pain lasting longer then three months. It may interfere with your ability to work, sleep, play or take on the important things in life. Our goal is to help you not only address the pain problem itself, but also focus on the underlying conditions that lead to or contribute to pain.

Treatments unique to you
In some cases that means after evaluating you, we advise physical therapy or a procedure we can perform to relieve your pain. We may also consider medication management in the appropriate circumstances or psychological care. Depression and anxiety are common in patients who have spent significant time in pain. Our goal is to connect you with the best possible treatment to get you relief.
A multidisciplinary approach
Our pain team coordinates with physical therapists, occupational therapists, surgeons, and those who specialize in psychological issues and massage, in order to provide you with the best diagnosis for your pain, as well as treatment.
A deep bench of specialists
While we pull together the most experienced team in the region to collectively decide how best to help you, each of our doctors is an expert in one or a handful of specific types of pain.
Dry needling to relieve pain
Dry needling is a technique physical therapists use to help relieve pain related to a certain motion you're performing. A dry needle is a solid needle that is inserted into muscles that are causing your pain symptoms. Even though patients don't really feel the needle inserted and there is no medication administered, they can still experience some minor soreness afterward. While it might sound like acupuncture, it isn't, mainly because it's based on Western research and techniques, not Eastern traditional medicine techniques. Normally dry needling is part of a larger treatment plan covered by many insurance companies.
Proven credentials
Unlike many pain clinics, our doctors are all board certified in pain management, and most are fellowship trained as well.
