A Holistic Approach to Chronic Pain Management

Understanding Chronic Pain

Chronic pain affects every aspect of life, requiring a comprehensive approach that addresses physical, emotional, and social factors for effective management.

The Role of Patient Education

Understanding pain mechanisms empowers patients to take active roles in their recovery. Education about pain science often reduces fear and improves outcomes.
