Pain Management - Acute & Chronic Pains

Pain may be acute or chronic. Acute pain generally results from tissue damage and is of limited duration. Once the cause of pain has been identified, it can be successfully managed. Chronic pain is persistent because the cause of chronic pain often cannot be altered, your nervous system will adapt, which will cause depression, anxiety and insomnia.

An accurate assessment of your pain experience provides a basis for an evaluation of various pain management techniques.
