Chronic pain can dramatically impact your quality of life. It can affect your relationships with friends and family, your ability to work, enjoy social events, engage in personal intimacy, sleep well, exercise and perform other daily activities. As a result, many people suffering from chronic pain experience stress, anxiety, frustration, depression and a sense of helplessness.

Chronic pain sufferers often have lost hope, having tried many pain management treatments, including surgery and physical therapy, yet continue to be consumed by their pain. Others are worried about the large amounts of medicine they are taking. Some people are concerned that the medications they are taking are not effective enough to treat their pain, or are insufficient to help with related symptoms, including inability to sleep, memory difficulties, weight gain or loss and anxiety.

New research and pain rehabilitation techniques make it possible to effectively treat pain and improve the quality of life for chronic pain sufferers.
