Description

Pediatric acute and chronic pain management is an area that has few official guidelines and published protocols. One of the largest causes of impact in the pediatric population is musculoskeletal pain which is commonly experienced in all pediatric populations, but especially in athletes. Our primary goal is to share current data and evidence on acute and chronic pain management as well as share the experience and expertise from a diverse panel physicians who treat pediatric patients with acute or chronic pain. Our secondary goals include: to network and to discuss thought provoking questions in order to form ideas on how to improve the field as a whole or in our own practice.
