Nemours Pediatric Pain Rehabilitation Anniversary Celebration

December 14, 2019 @ 10:30 am - 2:00 pm

In recognition of the 6 year anniversary of The Nemours Pediatric Pain Rehabilitation Program we will be hosting  a celebration at Nona Adventure Park on December 14, 2019, 10:30am-2pm.  This celebration will honor the patients and families who have graduated from our program over the years and additionally recognizing the medical professionals, associates, and key community members who have been instrumental in our program’s success.

The Nemours Pediatric Pain Rehabilitation Program is a multi-week (four-week average) intensive day treatment program led by one of the world’s top pain specialists who is board-certified in pediatric anesthesiology and pain management. The focus of the program is to improve the quality of life and overall functioning for children and adolescents experiencing chronic pain. This treatment is done through a multidisciplinary approach that includes pediatric anesthesiology, physical and occupational therapy, behavioral health individual and family counseling, and daily activity scheduling.  Each child’s treatment is individualized to assist the patient’s in attaining their personal goals. Most commonly, the child is able to discontinue use of assistive devices, reduce medications, and return to traditional school, sports, and activities with their families and friends with which the pain was interfering.

The most commonly treated conditions within the program are as follows:

Amplified Musculoskeletal Pain or Juvenile Fibromyalgia

Cancer Pain

Abdominal Pain

Headaches

Nerve Injuries or Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

By celebrating our 6 year anniversary and the graduating patients of our program, it is our goal to bring not only community awareness to the Pediatric Pain Rehabilitation Program but additionally facilitate opportunity for financial contributions to support the continued growth and expansion of our program’s needs.
