Types of Chronic Pain Conditions We Treat

By addressing the root causes of pain, we aim to provide long-lasting relief and help you regain control over your health.
Understanding Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is a complex condition that can result from various health conditions, tissue damage, or dysfunction in the central or peripheral nervous system. Unlike acute pain, which acts as a warning signal for injury or illness and typically resolves as you heal, chronic pain persists for months or years, often without a clear cause.
Chronic pain is categorized into several types based on its origin:
Neuropathic Pain: Caused by nerve damage or dysfunction, often associated with conditions like sciatica, diabetic neuropathy, or spinal cord injuries.
Visceral Pain: Arises from internal organs and is often linked to conditions affecting the abdomen or chest.
Somatic Pain: Results from tissue damage or inflammation in muscles, joints, or bones, commonly associated with arthritis or injury.
Common Types of Pain We Treat

Post-Surgical Pain Syndromes: Pain that lingers long after recovery from a medical condition or surgery.
