Pain is one of the most common reasons for someone to seek medical care. Our mission is to lead you back to full health and increase mobility and functionality through safe and effective treatments. We strive to deliver the highest-quality care possible and facilitate ground-breaking discoveries in clinical, translational and basic research.

At UF Health Pain Medicine, we understand that different types of pain require different types of treatment. We aim to focus holistically on each patient's unique needs. Our collaborative approach involves our patients, their primary care providers and other specialists to find the best treatment strategies for their pain. Our physicians work closely with patients to choose the right treatment plan and non-opioid solutions to pain.

Often, this involves specialists such as physical therapists, occupational therapists, mental health specialists, neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons. Additionally, we use interventional treatments and a combination of different therapies that will help you achieve improved quality of life. Our comprehensive treatments include steroid injections, facet procedures, nerve blocks, chronic pain rehabilitation and more.
