Chronic Pain

Chronic Pain Relief

Chronic pain affects over 50 million adults in the United States alone, persisting for weeks, months, or even years due to conditions such as arthritis, injuries, or fibromyalgia. It impacts daily life and mental well-being, often leading to reduced mobility, sleep disturbances, and a lower quality of life.

Symptoms of Chronic Pain

Symptoms vary depending on the condition but commonly include:

  • Persistent pain that lasts beyond the expected healing time
  • Stiffness and reduced range of motion
  • Fatigue and difficulty sleeping
  • Mood changes, such as irritability or depression

Causes of Chronic Pain

Chronic pain can be caused by various factors, including:

  • Injuries: Such as sprains, strains, or trauma to muscles, joints, or bones.
  • Medical Conditions: Like arthritis, fibromyalgia, or chronic fatigue syndrome.
  • Nerve Damage: Resulting from diseases like diabetes or conditions like sciatica.
  • Post-Surgery Pain: Some individuals experience ongoing pain after surgery, known as post-surgical pain syndrome.
