Both Dr. Ezgur and DiDomenico recognize that your mental state has a significant impact on pain and your body's ability to heal. This is especially true in virtually all types of chronic pain. The doctors may make specific recommendations when appropriate. These recommendations may include stress management, muscle relaxation techniques, and breathing exercises. More in-depth psychological services may also be recommended, to help you with:

• stress management
• weight loss
• pain management
• sleep disorders
• smoking cessation

Dr. Ezgur and Dr. DiDomenico both work closely with clinical psychologists and psychiatrists in Chicago and the Chicagoland area, when patients may benefit from psychological services. Especially effective is cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, an empirically based, time limited system by which patients are taught to monitor and change thoughts and behaviors in an organized way in order to feel better and act in more self-helping, adaptive ways.
