Default Cleveland Clinic Childrens Pain Rehab program

[
Hi,

My daughter has been to the Cleveland Clinic Pain Rehabilitation Program two times. They were amazing. She learned how to cope with RSD, what stage is your child in? I would absolutely recommend the Cleveland Clinic, it is a lot easier to get into. Not too much of a waiting list. The PT/OT and the staff were amazing and wonderful very caring especially Dr. Banez, the Psychologist in charge of the program. My daughter loved the program, I know that sounds silly, but when we left she said "Mom I have my life back." Unfortunately her RSD is back in full force, she is undergoing the Three day Ketamine Infusions next week with Dr. Anthony Kirkpatrick in Tampa, Florida. Definitely give the Cleveland Clinic a try, it was a great coping tool, your child is young enough to hopefully make a full recovery, if you need additional information I can post the phone number and contact for you. Good luck and don't wait too long.





QUOTE=the-momma;536563]Hello,

My 8-year old was recently diagnosed with RSD. We are in the Phila, PA area. Currently, I'm exploring Childrens Hospital of Phila, DuPont and the program near Boston. I've talked with someone currently in the CT Childrens Hospital program. Any experience with any of these pediatric pain programs? or others - Chicago, Cleveland, Duke? Will travel to the place that best suits her needs and can treat her soonest. She's receiving outpatient PT, counseling and occasional chiropractic adjustments while we wait to get in a program. Thank you.[/QUOTE]
