Pain Medicine Program

What is the Pain Medicine Program?

Pain control is an important part of helping your child get well. We want to reduce children's discomfort simply because it feels bad, and also because pain can get in the way of healing. Inadequately controlled pain has undesirable effects on a child's metabolic, physiological and emotional conditions.

We are dedicated to improving infant, child and adolescent pain care and quality of life. A team called the Pain Medicine Team works to control pain for children who receive treatment at Children's Hospital.

The team works with children who have many types of health problems. We provide our patients relief from a variety of afflictions, including pain related to surgical procedures, cancer, sickle cell disease and other conditions.

Our team includes attending physicians and advance practice nurses. They provide pain management services 24 hours a day.

RSD THERAPY, is the home of Doctor Allan Spiegel. They specialize in HBOT or HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY for the treatment of RSD/CRPS and other forms of Chronic Pain.

As quoted from the website, "Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has proven itself to be a very viable option to treat this disorder. Numerous articles in the medical literature have shown the reduction in pain and swelling with return of function using hyperbaric oxygen. Best of all, this is accomplished without the need for painful injections, narcotics, or surgical implants for pain management. Most people find that following the first few treatments they are able to achieve a full nights sleep for the first time in years. They then notice the decreased need for narcotics, improved thinking, with a diminished depression.The swelling of the effected arm or leg diminishes and they are able to start physical therapy with marked improvement in muscle strength. Many people have then been able to return to a happier and more productive life, frequently returning to their prior occupation."

If you are interested, drop by their website for more information where you can get a brochure mailed to you, send them an email, give them a call, or simply learn more about the technique and/or Doctor Spiegel and his staff.
