- When acute pain
does not resolve in the expected medical time frame, it becomes chronic
pain. Chronic pain can change
your life. Chronic pain has no purpose and does not
respond to treatments which are not specific to the pain, such as
over-the-counter drugs. Many times, pain has bothered the sufferer
for a long time.
Chronic pain is
often misunderstood or under estimated. No one should
have to live with chronic pain. Patients should look into pain
management when they have sought relief with non-pain-specific treatments
and have not been effective. Chronic pain demands the attention that
a pain management specialist can treat
much more effectively because he or she has the training and tools to
identify the source and prescribe therapy. |
