Dr. Kalisch specializes in helping patients suffering with chronic pain understand the core interactions between pain, stress, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; learn practical methods to help reduce the severity of chronic pain experienced; develop strategies to remedy pain-related lifestyle disruptions; and acquire the education and training to achieve an empowering level of adaptive coping and resilience.
Dr. Kalisch has been a healthcare practitioner at Lakeshore Bone & Joint Institute since 2008 and continues to be wholeheartedly dedicated to offering his pain psychology specialty services as part of the practice's commitment to providing the highest standards of total patient care.
