Pain Management

Dealing with chronic pain can be challenging, and even debilitating, compromising your quality of life. While everyone feels occasional pain, chronic pain symptoms can last for weeks, months, and even years, having serious effects on both your physical and mental health.

While short-term and acute pain can be helpful in alerting you to bodily harm or damage, chronic pain is often more wide-spread and long lasting. If left untreated, ongoing pain can affect other organ systems, causing increased or lowered heart rate, nausea, and sleep deprivation, as well as prolonging the healing process.
