Is the Pain Rehabilitation Center right for you?

Jul 30, 2025 | Sarah Sheahan OTD-S | @sarahotd | Comments (22)

The Pain Rehabilitation Center (PRC) is dedicated to helping individuals improve their daily functioning and overall quality of life due to chronic pain and symptoms. Many patients enter the program with a long history of persistent symptoms that have not responded to traditional treatments. Often, they have received multiple diagnoses, as symptoms tend to span several areas of the body and do not align with a single, clear-cut condition. Common diagnoses seen prior to admission at the PRC include, but are not limited to: 

Abdominal and gastrointestinal conditions

Chronic Pain 

Chronic Fatigue

Chronic Migraine

Fibromyalgia

Functional Neurological Disorder

Generalized Pain

Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Neuropathic pain

Non-epileptic spells

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)

          Ehlers Danlos Syndrome/Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (EDS/HSD)

Regardless of the diagnoses that patients have received, the PRC takes a holistic approach to care, rather than focusing on a single set of symptoms. The PRC recognizes that chronic pain and symptoms can greatly diminish a person’s ability to function and engage in everyday activities. The PRC also recognizes the psychological toll of chronic pain and symptoms. For this reason, the PRC emphasizes a comprehensive care model that addresses the entire person rather than one diagnosis or condition.

If you believe that you are right for the PRC, please refer to the Admission Process tab for more information.

I graduated six and a half years ago, May 2019. And I just graduated again October 2025. I was living the ideal C life!! I was enjoying life that I hadn’t lived in the 14 years when I was in my B life. I was the typical C lifer with a little of that A life that snuck back in, and I thought I didn’t need the entire PRC process anymore(silly me). Parts here and there but not the entire program.
Well somewhere in 2023/2024 my “pine cones” of life were lit on fire. Before I knew it, another acute issue came about and then another what I thought was acute, turned out to be part of my chronic symptoms. And within one day I had a fully involved forest fire. Fine one day, not fine the next. Then I had a few additional emotional forest fires start up and before I knew it , my entire world was on fire!! This was because I had been “living life” but without the Living the “C”, PRC program fully engaged. I was in trouble. I reached out to Dr Sletten professionally,individually. The last time I saw him I couldn’t form a sentence without turning into a puddle on the floor. He said you know what I’m going to say? I shook my head No, and he said you need to come back to PRC. I said okay just like that. He told me I didn’t fail, my body failed me. He walked me to the PRC front office and got me scheduled. Not for the week “defrag” refresher but for the complete 3 week reboot. Completely wipe the hard drive and reinstall the program. I’m beyond thankful for Dr. Sletten and his team for helping me back onto the proverbial “PRC horse”.
@rwinney you and I “met” via the zoom chat a few years ago, I’m Rhonda. Glad to see you’re still doing well!!
