People who suffer from persistent low back and neck pain know that it can become more than a physical problem. Pain effects work, social and leisure activities, relationships, and mood. Stress caused by pain may increase discomfort and delay recovery. This stress-pain cycle can become difficult to treat with medical techniques alone.

At the OIOC, a multidisciplinary approach is available to treat the whole person. A licensed health psychologist explains the mind-body connection and teaches evidence-based coping strategies. These include relaxation, cognitive-behavioral techniques and problem solving skills, allowing the individual many options to treat pain and improve well being.

The OIOC offers the following Psychological Services:

Cognitive-Behavioral Pain Management Program
Corporate Stress Management Program

These programs can be tailored to meet the needs of any individual or group, and may consist of one introductory lecture or a series of coping enhancement sessions.
