Chronic pain affects millions of people, impacting their ability to work, sleep, and enjoy life. Unlike acute pain, which results from a temporary injury or illness, chronic pain lasts for weeks, months, or even years.

What Causes Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain can stem from various sources, including:

• Injuries: Old injuries that never fully healed can lead to long-term pain.
• Spinal Conditions: Issues like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease can cause persistent discomfort.
• Nerve Damage: Conditions like neuropathy and sciatica can lead to chronic nerve pain.
• Inflammatory Diseases: Arthritis, fibromyalgia, and autoimmune disorders contribute to widespread pain.

Treatment Options for Chronic Pain

At NPA, we take a multidisciplinary approach, offering solutions such as:

• Interventional Procedures: Minimally invasive treatments like epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, and spinal cord stimulators.
• Medication Management: A personalized approach to medication that prioritizes safety and effectiveness.
• Physical Therapy & Lifestyle Changes: Strengthening the body and adopting habits that reduce pain over time.
• Surgical Consideration: In cases where non-surgical treatments do not provide relief, procedures like kyphoplasty or spinal decompression may be considered.
