Pain Rehabilitation through Improved Self Management (PRISM)

A 10-week program led by a Pain Psychologist to learn effective ways to manage pain.

PRISM is designed to provide you with the tools and techniques to improve your quality of life. PRISM is a group program in which 10-15 people with chronic pain get together on a weekly basis to learn more effective ways to manage their pain.

Each weekly meeting consists of a 90-minute session led by a team of providers, including a pain psychologist, a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, and a dietitian.

Because chronic pain touches so many areas of a person’s life, you’ll learn skills and techniques for:

establishing realistic expectations
managing stress
using physical and occupational therapy to maximize function
dealing with the depression and anxiety that frequently accompanies chronic pain
talking about pain with family, friends and others
eating well to support your health

Contact Dana Schull at 314-996-4825 for program specifics.
