Both acute pain and chronic pain symptoms can be debilitating depending on their severity. For the most part, acute pain symptoms will resolve within a standard recovery period for whichever illness or injury has caused it. Chronic pain lasts well beyond what is considered a normal recovery period and can last for several months or even years. While not all chronic pain is constant, it can negatively impact a patient’s life as they struggle daily to minimize or control their symptoms. Patients who try to control their symptoms alone will often find it a daunting task. By relying on a compassionate team of specialists who can support your recovery with effective treatment, you can improve your chances of reducing your pain and being able to live a comfortable and productive life.
