Pain Management

It is part of Saint Peter’s mission to help patients manage any pain they are feeling, to prevent pain whenever we can and to help patients feel as comfortable as possible.

Pain is managed best by a team of doctors, nurses, therapists, family and the patient. It is important to understand that each person experiences and handles pain differently, whether it is chronic pain and/ or acute pain.

We can choose different ways to help us determine and measure a patient’s pain along with different methods to relieve it—methods that are most effective for the individual.
