Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is a term which captures long-term, persistent pain experienced by those suffering from an underlying condition, or an unexplained cause. It may appear to be inconsistent with what is observable to the human eye, but what is common to all forms of chronic pain is that it results in distress and disability for the sufferer. In order to help sufferers to alleviate their pain, a medical professional will develop a care and support plan with you, describing a range of non-medicinal, medicinal and surgical treatments which may provide at least some, if not significant, pain relief. Precisely what will be suggested depends on the type of pain experienced, where it is felt and the benefits and risks of recommended procedures for each patient.
