When traditional treatments do not relieve pain, health care practitioners and clients become frustrated. They often feel hopeless and powerless.
People living with pain rapidly learn that they have to be their own advocate, their own ally.
People with pain do research through medical libraries and patient groups. They spend thousands of dollars trying to find the answer that will work for them. Often they do not get an answer. Often there is much that can be done. There are multidisciplinary pain centers to evaluate and treat pain.
