Managing Chronic Pain
Chronic pain affects more than 40 million Americans according to the National Institutes of Health.
Many who fail to respond to conventional treatments continue to suffer with no end in sight. Chronic pain can evolve into a disability that affects the daily activities and attitude of both the person affected and their loved ones. Some long-time sufferers withdraw from activities that once gave them joy, and become depressed, angry, and helpless.
