We care for kids and teens who have lasting or complex pain. The pain can come from many different causes. Some have headaches, nerve pain that feels like burning or muscle and joint pain that doesn’t go away. Others come to us with stomach pain that has no clear cause or pain that spreads or gets worse over time. We also see kids with neck or back pain that makes it hard to move or pain that lasts long after surgery, injuries or other treatments. In some cases, even light touch or everyday activity can hurt.

Pain can change how kids sleep, their mood, how they do in school their everyday life. This can make it hard to enjoy things or keep up with school and friends. No matter the cause, we’re here to help your child feel better, move easier and return to being themselves.
