Chronic pain is defined as continuous pain and other symptoms lasting over six
months and
affecting a person’s
normal activities
and well-being. Chronic pain afflicts over 85 million Americans and the
average chronic pain patient suffers for seven years and has three
major surgeries in their desperate search for
pain relief.
Pain is a problem no matter where it comes from. People may suffer from
arthritis or joint pain, muscle pain, nerve pain (neuropathy),
headaches or extremity pain. Cancer patients often have pain, as well.
But they don’t have to live with it. And you don’t have to live with
your pain, either, especially with so many treatments available,
including:
- Soft-tissue mobilization
- Joint mobilization
- Manual traction
- Myofascial release
- Phonophoresis and iontophoresis
- Postural and gait training
- Cervical and lumbar traction
- Strengthening and stretching
