Acute/Chronic Pain

What is Chronic Pain?

Pain (an unpleasant sense of discomfort) that persists or progresses over a long period of time. In contrast to acute pain that arises suddenly in response to a specific injury and is usually treatable, chronic pain persists over time and is often resistant to medical treatments.

Chronic pain may be related to a number of different medical conditions including (but not limited to) diabetes, arthritis, migraine, fibromyalgia, cancer, shingles, sciatica, and previous trauma or injury. Chronic pain may worsen in response to environmental and/or psychological factors.

Complementary and Alternative Health Care

We strive at Physicians Health and Injury Center to not merely alleviate physical pain but to help our patients achieve a lifetime of optimal health and wellness. Because it is easier to stay well than to get well once a person becomes diseased or disabled, we believe preventive measures should be taken to preserve good health. We use alternative healthcare alone, or as an integral adjunct to conventional medicine when necessary. The forms of alternative healthcare we practice include include acupuncture, massage, nutrition and natural allergy elimination (NAET). All of these therapies are non-invasive and help the body use its natural resources to heal itself.

If you Suffer from Chronic Pain we can help!
