The goal of physical therapy is to help each person maximize their physical function, while minimizing pain, to allow for a fuller and more active lifestyle. Services are tailored to pain-related issues and are generally provided to persons who have not responded completely or who have not responded at all to traditional medical and physical therapy interventions.

You will receive therapy from physical therapists and assistants whom are part of The Nebraska Medical Center's Pain Management Program team and work exclusively with individuals suffering pain-related difficulties. However, you are not required to be enrolled in the comprehensive four-week Pain Management Program to receive physical therapy services.

The physical therapists at the Pain Management Program have devoted study, education and clinical practice to provide therapies that are not provided by the typical acute care physical therapist or require the expertise of someone who works exclusively with individuals with pain problems. As such, our physical therapists provide a specialist’s view in the treatment of pain as well as unique therapies and exercise approaches that you would not receive from a traditional physical therapist.
