Say No to Chronic Pain
Are you suffering from chronic pain? If this question has been spinning around in your mind for more than three months, then the answer is yes.
A life lived comes with some physical pain. Pain is a regular visitor in our lives, whether it's from:
Injuries
Surgery
Dental work
Menstrual cramps
But what happens when that visitor sticks around for too long, or you just can't get it to leave? Now you are dealing with something very different, chronic pain.
If you are suffering from chronic pain, you are not alone. In 2015 more than 1.5 billion people suffered from chronic pain, and approximately 3–4.5% of the global population suffered from neuropathic pain.
What Is Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain could be sharp and piercing, or it may be dull and continuous. It probably stemmed from acute pain that initially started with an accident, injury, or even surgery. Still, instead of the pain receding, the pain signals remained active in the nervous system.
The two factors that define pain as chronic are:
It lasts for longer than three months
It does not go away on its own
People who suffer from chronic pain often experience it in the form of:
Headaches
Pain from surgery
Arthritis
Back pain
Nerve pain
Fibromyalgia pain
Chronic pain can be challenging to diagnose and treat because the cause can be vague or linked to other conditions or health problems.
Sometimes chronic pain stems from no identifiable cause, which makes it even trickier to treat. That's why it is crucial to seek a specialist rather than a general practitioner to treat chronic pain conditions.
We Specialize In Chronic Pain
We've spent years working with patients who suffer from chronic pain and have found the best way to diagnose and treat it is by using a functional medicine approach.
We start with you, the patient. We want to learn your whole story and include you in the process of recovering your health. Our diagnosis and treatment use an Integrative Approach (Functional Medicine)by taking into consideration:
Your Physiology, Lifestyle, and Genetic Makeup
Any Internal (mind, body, and spirit) Factors
Related External (physical, social, and environmental) Factors
We also run lab tests and use medical best practices to come to understand and treat the underlying causes of your chronic pain.
And once you are pain-free, we don't want your pain to return. We are highly invested in working with you to lay down a foundation of prevention practices to minimize the likelihood that you will end up with chronic pain issues again.
