The Doleys Clinic

For most people, pain is an isolated and temporary condition that can be treated and
relieved. But for some, pain is much more complex. Chronic pain can be so overwhelming
and debilitating that it can lead to stress, anxiety, and depression. These disorders can literally change a person’s life affecting everything from job performance to personal relationships.

It’s in these complex cases that a more comprehensive, multidimensional remedy is needed patients need an integrated, interdisciplinary approach designed specifically for their individual circumstances. Such an approach addresses the needs of the whole person’s body, mind, and spirit.

Founded in 1979 as the Pain and Rehabilitation Institute, The Doleys Clinic is a privately owned and operated clinic in suburban Birmingham, Alabama. We accept self-referrals as well as referrals from physicians, employers, and third-party payors on a local, regional, and national basis.

We have three licensed clinical psychologists on staff to work with patients who have long-standing, situation-specific, or pain-related changes in mood, altered cognitive status, and other life stressors. Our physical therapist is specially trained in working with chronic pain patients and will design a safe, simple, and effective home exercise program tailored to individual needs.

Last but not least, we are strongly health and wellness focused. Everyone, whether living with chronic pain or not, can benefit from guidance on how to live a healthy, active, and purposeful life. Our medical weight loss program is designed around an anti-inflammatory lifestyle to help with mood, pain, and weight.
