The Pain Management Clinic is an off-campus, outpatient department operated by Mount Nittany Medical Center treating more than 5,000 patients each year.
Our patients come to us with pain that outlasts the normal healing period following an accident or injury, or people who have pain related to other conditions but for whom physical therapy, steroid therapy or pain medication are not enough.

Our clinical team offers treatments to patients diagnosed with:

• Back and lower extremity pain

• Failed back injury syndrome
• Cancer pain
• Head, neck and upper extremity pain
• Neuralgia and neuropathy - pain from nerve injuries and diabetes
