Pain is the most prevalent of the ten principal reasons for emergency department visits. At least 116 million U.S. adults are burdened by chronic pain.
Pain has biological, psychological, and social components, and effective treatments must address all three of these aspects.
For those patients
dealing with chronic pain, treatment plans are individually designed.
The individualized plan often involves
teaching relaxation techniques, building new coping skills, changing old
beliefs about pain, and addressing any anxiety or depression which may
accompany your pain.
