How Psychiatry is Used for Pain Management at the Washington University Living Well Center®
The Washington University Living Well Center® cares for patients with musculoskeletal issues, and often times those patients are dealing with chronic pain. By incorporating a psychiatrist into a patient's treatment plan, patients can benefit from reduced and modified pain through behavioral and cognitive procedures. A psychiatrist can also address sleep issues and help with medication compliance, so that medication is taken in a more optimal way.
