The Rush Pain Center offers a full range of multidisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for patients with chronic pain. Our goal is simple: Treat the whole patient using a multidisciplinary approach in pain management that includes modalities from traditional medical fields such as anesthesiology, internal medicine, psychology and pharmacology, as well as alternative medical techniques such as acupuncture, chiropractic and medical massage therapy. For many people, complete relief from pain is not possible. But with treatment, patients can control their pain and resume an active life.

By combining resources, our doctors are able to provide state-of-the-art pain management care with the latest in technology and treatment choices. As colleagues, our professionals are always working together to provide the newest and medically proven options.

Our experts also take a preventive approach to care, so that the least invasive solution to the problem is used whenever possible. We ensure each patient’s optimal protection with advanced sterilization techniques that exceed OSHA requirements.
