The treatments for chronic pain are as diverse as the causes.
But when it comes to treating chronic pain, no single technique is guaranteed to produce complete pain relief.
Relief may be found by using a combination of treatment options.
Creative, mechanism-specific, multimodal treatment can help your patients with chronic pain regain their lives.
Pain reduction and maximized function should be the treatment goals.
Active participation of the patient in his or her own self-care is vital for improving pain management.
Care plans must address reconditioning as well as improving function, sleep, and mood as well as reducing nociception and enhancing neuromodulation.
