Davette Baker, patient: I was never going to get out of my bedroom. I couldn't do any of it, because I just couldn't get up, couldn't sit up. I wasn't me.

Pain Rehabilitation Center Patient Stories

Julie Maxson, patient: One of the important parts of the PRC is that there are ways that we can retrain the brain.

Wesley P. Gilliam, Ph.D., L.P., pain psychologist: As pain goes on, people start to recognize -- a lot of these things that I enjoy in life have been left along the side, and all I am left with is my pain.

The goals of the patient when they're coming into the program is the primary gauge for where we're going to go moving forward.

Julie: I said, I just wanted to feel safe in my body again.

Davette: It makes such a difference when you can see the path forward, getting better and stronger.

Julie: I began to see my body as a team member instead of an adversary.

Davette: I am thankful and grateful forever.
