PARTICIPATE IN LIFE
Recent advances in medical treatment have improved pain
management techniques for patients suffering from a wide range
of conditions. Until recently pain has been a neglected,
misunderstood medical condition that can affect anyone at any
time. Pain management can help alleviate or reduce pain so that
you can participate in life again.
ACUTE PAIN comes on quickly, can be severe, and typically
lasts a relatively short time. Acute pain can be brought on by:
- surgery
- illness
- serious injury or accident
CHRONIC PAIN is a persistent state of pain; it is often associated
with long-term incurable or problematic medical conditions or
diseases including:
- arthritis
- back and neck pain
- herniated disc disease
- fibromyalgia (muscle and joint pain)
- migraines
- cancer pain
- hip pain and knee pain
