Chronic Pain
Millions of Americans endure pain that lasts for months, sometimes years. We understand the negative impact of pain on your quality of life. That’s why NeuroSpine offers a range of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches with your unique needs in mind.
Chronic pain is any pain that lasts more than three months. The pain can become progressively worse and reoccur intermittently, beyond the normal healing process. Chronic pain can last long after the expected healing process ends, for no apparent reason.
The most common sources of chronic pain include low back pain, headache, and arthritic pain. Chronic pain can cause significant psychological and emotional trauma and often limits an individual’s ability to fully function.
The treatment of chronic pain has evolved over the years. It used to be that doctors focused primarily on treating the underlying cause of pain, thinking that once the injury or disease was cured, the chronic pain would disappear. Most medical practitioners now believe that chronic pain is a condition itself that needs to be treated as the primary pathology.
