Pediatric Pain Clinic

Whether pain stems from a chronic illness or an unknown cause despite thorough testing and evaluation, it impacts a child’s quality of life. Pain reduces physical activity and sleep quality. It can cause depression and affect schoolwork and interactions with family and friends. Therefore, pain in children requires a multidimensional approach involving physical rehabilitation, counseling, education and conventional medicine.

The UK HealthCare Pediatric Pain Clinic specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of many forms of pain affecting children. We also provide counseling and pain education. Our clinic provides streamlined care to reduce pain for our patients, from infants to young adults.
