Our Services

Chronic pain rehabilitation is a comprehensive program designed to help people improve function, reduce disability, increase activity tolerance, and return to daily life or work after ongoing pain problems.

Traditional pain management often focuses primarily on symptom control through medications, injections, or procedures.

At Champions Rehabilitation, our interdisciplinary program combines:

• Medical management
• Physical rehabilitation
• Psychological counseling
• Functional restoration
• Education
• Return-to-work training
• Case management coordination

Our goal is to help patients improve overall function and quality of life — not simply reduce pain scores.

Patients may benefit if they:

• Continue to have pain despite treatment
• Have difficulty returning to work
• Have reduced physical activity or endurance
• Experience depression, anxiety, fear of movement, or frustration related to pain
• Have had multiple surgeries, injections, or therapies with limited improvement
• Need a structured, team-based treatment approach

We commonly work with patients experiencing:

• Back and neck injuries
• Failed back surgery syndrome
• CRPS / RSD
• Chronic musculoskeletal pain
• Work-related injuries
• Post-surgical pain
• Joint injuries
• Chronic headaches
• Neuropathic pain
• Functional decline after injury

Depending on individual needs, treatment may include:

• Physician oversight
• Physical therapy
• Functional restoration
• Work conditioning/work hardening
• Psychological counseling
• Cognitive behavioral strategies
• Biofeedback and relaxation training
• Medication management
• Education on pain science and pacing
• Functional capacity evaluations
• Return-to-work planning
• Case management coordination

Yes. Our program is interdisciplinary, meaning multiple healthcare professionals work together as one coordinated team to develop and monitor the patient’s treatment plan.

Our team may include:

• Pain management physicians
• Physical therapists
• Counselors and psychologists
• Case managers
• Rehabilitation specialists

The primary goals are to:

• Improve physical function
• Increase activity tolerance
• Reduce disability
• Improve coping skills
• Restore independence
• Improve quality of life
• Facilitate safe return to work when appropriate

Every patient is different. While some patients experience pain reduction, the primary focus of chronic pain rehabilitation is improving function, movement, endurance, and quality of life — even when some pain remains.

Research shows that improving function often leads to better long-term outcomes than focusing only on pain elimination.

Program length varies depending on the patient’s condition, goals, and insurance authorization.

Some patients participate several days per week over multiple weeks as part of a structured rehabilitation plan.

Yes. We frequently work with injured workers and coordinate care with:

• Workers’ compensation carriers
• Case managers
• Employers
• Adjustors
• Referring physicians
• Attorneys when appropriate

Yes. Chronic pain affects both the body and the mind. Counseling helps patients:

• Manage stress and anxiety
• Improve coping strategies
• Address fear of reinjury
• Improve sleep
• Reduce pain-related depression
• Increase motivation and confidence

This is a standard and evidence-based part of interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation.

Functional restoration focuses on rebuilding strength, endurance, flexibility, tolerance for activity, and safe movement patterns needed for daily activities and work tasks.

That is one of our primary goals whenever medically appropriate.

Our team works to improve physical and psychological readiness for return to work while coordinating with employers and case managers regarding job demands and restrictions.

During the initial evaluation, patients may meet with multiple team members to discuss:

• Injury history
• Pain symptoms
• Functional limitations
• Medical history
• Work status
• Goals for treatment

This helps us develop an individualized treatment plan.

Referral requirements depend on your insurance or workers’ compensation carrier.

Our staff can help determine what documentation or authorization may be needed before treatment begins.

Our pain management physician evaluates each patient individually and may provide medication management when appropriate as part of an overall rehabilitation plan.

Yes. Our treatment approach is based on evidence-supported interdisciplinary rehabilitation principles commonly recognized in chronic pain management and functional restoration programs.

Patients are typically provided with:

• Home exercise recommendations
• Ongoing self-management strategies
• Return-to-work recommendations
• Maintenance plans
• Follow-up care recommendations when needed

The goal is long-term independence and sustained functional improvement.
