In the United
States more than 83 million adults
report that pain interferes with their
daily living activities.
Depression, fear of the pain and
rejection by others not believing the
patient's pain frequently causes the
patient to withdraw. This leads to
hopelessness.
The result of
untreated chronic pain frequently leads
to occupational, financial, recreational
and relationship burdens.
You do not
have to live in pain. Patients and
family members have come to us because
they have heard of other patients that
have gotten enough pain relief to again
become functional in their daily lives
and for some to enjoy recreational
activities.
One person's
pain can create havoc in a family and
for the related caregivers. For
most, you do not have to live in pain or
watch your loved one suffer.
Our
physicians understand the far reaching
complications and emotions (decreased
quality of life, loss of functions and
the increased incidence of depression
and worse, suicide) associated with
chronic pain.
