Functional Pain Center  

Our Program Focus

Functional Pain Center has been providing Outpatient Interdisciplinary Pain Rehabilitation Program services for adults in an outpatient setting in the McAllen area since 2000. Functional Pain Center is the only CARF accredited facility for this service to assist injured patients to return to suitable and gainful employment in the Rio Grande Valley. The personnel in the program demonstrate a strong commitment to person-focused care and evident respect for the cultural diversity and rights of the person served. Functional Pain Center offers individualized treatment plan goals for the patients served.

Our Structure

Our treatment adheres to the official disability guidelines for Chronic Pain Program. All patients referred are screened systematically to address every element of criteria for program entrance consideration. Once a patient is authorized, a treatment plan review is written outlining for progress. This report states objectives and whether the patient has improved his physical functioning, reduced medication dependence, and reduced pain levels among other factors. Unless objective gains have been obtained, a patient is not recommended for further services.
