Chronic Pain Doesn’t Have To Define Your Life. Optci Can Help. Increase Your Activity And Take Back Your Time Today.
Acute pain is one with which most of us are familiar.
However, it is a new pain, short duration, often resulting from an injury, has a distinct starting point, and involves tissue damage. It may do further damage to the tissues unless circumstances are changed.
Are you concerned about the pain that has been present for six months or longer and not resulting from a life-threatening condition? Such pain is generally referred to as chronic pain. It is disabling and has not responded to medical or surgical intervention. The tissue has healed, and
there is nothing further the body can do to mend. It is long term, no longer warning of tissue damage. Most cases, chronic pain stems from a neurophysiological origin. Chronic injury, illness, anxiety, and depression can lead the neurological system to always be on high alert. It can be in the form of joint pain, nerve pain, back pain, or headaches.
The treatment choice for chronic pain differs from that of acute pain because the treatment goals are different. With chronic pain, what can be achieved is the elimination of disability and progressively increasing the activity level to regain physical capabilities. Lastly, treatment involves a change in attitude, communication, and family relationships so that pain no longer interferes with life. Through effective programs, patients can learn to lead a productive, valuable life despite the pain, whether the cause is physical, emotional, or both.
