Types of Pain
CHRONIC PAIN
Chronic Pain is a common problem of older patients in which aging, past injuries, scar tissue, failing ligaments, tendons, degenerating joint spaces, along with weakening muscles, and sensitive nerves are all taking a toll on your body. All this is further compromised with a slowing metabolism leading to daily pain that makes most feel they just have to learn to live with pain.
At Pain Relief Clinic, we know pain is inevitable. But, suffering is optional.
You can be helped and maintain a much better quality of life. We are noted for partnering with our patients to facilitate the changes necessary to allow you to once again live an active, enjoyable and productive life.
We provide relief for the following conditions:
Types of Chronic Pain
- Fibromyalgia: A chronic condition causing pain, stiffness, and tenderness of the muscles, tendons, and joints. Fibromyalgia is also characterized by restless sleep, awakening feeling tired, fatigued, and depression. Many times when the pain is treated successfully the depression leaves also.
- Arthritis: The word arthritis literally means joint inflammation but is often used to refer to a group of more than 100 rheumatic diseases that can cause pain, stiffness and swelling in the joints.
- Neuralgia: This is a painful disorder of the nerves that is characterized by severe, sharp pain along the course of a nerve, such as sciatica or a shooting type pain extending into the arms or hands. It may feel like a tingling or burning sensation. Shingles is a form of neuralgia.
ACUTE PAIN
Acute pain is usually caused by some form of trauma such as, slips, falls, repetitive motions or strains and sprains, often as a result of sports injuries or slips and falls. The faster you treat this type of pain , the less likely it will become chronic.
POST SURGICAL SWELLING & PAIN DURING RECOVERY
Recovery from surgery can be less painful and you can heal quicker with less scar tissue and residual problems if treated appropriately. The key to the quickest and most complete recovery is to start a therapeutic treatment as soon as possible.
If these conditions are left untreated or neglected, they can become chronic pain problems later.
Swelling, congestion and compromised circulation are culprits in slow or poor healing following surgery, especially of those involving joints.
