Successful treatment of pain involves a multidisciplinary approach. We utilize many other useful resources in our community - such as physical and occupational therapy, psychotherapy, and more - to help our patients achieve their goals. In spite of being extremely common, pain is one of the most difficult problems to understand and treat adequately.
When an acute injury occurs, pain serves a useful purpose as a warning system of bodily harm. However, we now understand that pain can occur without any discernible injury and can persist beyond the expected healing period. Useful daily activities, once taken for granted, have become physically and mentally challenging.
