Management of Chronic Pain
Chronic pain, or pain lasting for longer than six months, occurs with a variety of disorders, including fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, cancer, and diabetes. The presence of chronic pain can limit your life both physically and emotionally, as approximately 58% of people who suffer from chronic pain also experience signs of depression or anxiety. In addition to identifying the underlying cause of chronic pain, you should be aware of the benefits and risks of available treatment plans.
