About the Center
Chronic pain can severely impact your physical,
emotional and psychological well-being, ultimately

pain, which often continues for 24 hours a day,
seven days a week for three months or more, is
often related to disease and/or an injury. Whatever
the cause, the goal of the Penn Pain Medicine
Center is to alleviate your pain and help you
find relief.
