Pain Management
Less Hurting, More Healing
Nemours Children's pain management specialists do everything they can to give children peace from pain. We understand the physical, emotional and social disruption pain causes.
Our team uses innovative therapies to strengthen body, mind and spirit. We offer inpatient pain management programs where your child stays overnight. We also provide outpatient programs that promote wellness and help children and teens return to everyday participation and functioning at home, at school and at play.
We work to reduce medicines as much as we can. We may use rehabilitation therapies, behavioral health therapies, nutritional counseling and integrative approaches like massage, relaxation and yoga.
We work together as a team to care for your child, and your whole family. We offer counseling and support services so you can help your child feel better inside and out.
Conditions & Treatments
We see a wide range of conditions — far too many to list here. The conditions we treat vary depending on the location and providers selected. Don’t see a condition listed? Call us.

Delaware Valley/Philadelphia Highlights
We care for the whole family. Our pediatric pain program is among only a handful in the country that also offers healing services for the entire family.
We’re leaders in the field. We have given 60 local, national, and international lectures about pediatric chronic pain.
We’re trying to improve access to care. The pain team is examining unequal access to pediatric chronic pain programs and is using a screening tool to make referrals easier.
We know how to talk to kids. Sometimes it’s hard for kids to express how they feel. Our experts know how pain shows in children in all ages and abilities, even in babies who can’t tell us where it hurts.
