Chronic Pain

Chronic Pain is defined as pain that persists beyond the normal healing time, or for 3 or more months,without a reasonable explanation. It has been determined that Chronic pain affects approximately 20 percent of the population in the United States.Of that group 50 to 60 percent are totally disabled.

Doctors are  linking Chronic Pain to nerve damage, lower back injuries, degenerative disk disease, and not a few in the Medical profession think it is psychological. (Brain Pain)
I am disabled with Chronic Pain, and I have, with the help of many people,who are aware of the damage Chronic Pain syndrome can do to an individual, learned to live a quality life regardless of my disability.
I am presenting this web site in hopes that it will help you who suffer with this problem. I will explain where I've traveled in the search for relief, and the things I have found that help. There are pain management therapy clinics across the United States, that are modern in their approach to aiding in the control of Chronic Pain. There are excersizes, disciplines and medicines  that will help. It seems like an impossible job just   finding them. Research has found there is a reality behind chronic pain. There are new treatments arriving in the medical field every day. I will try to bring this information, and misinformation to you as it is made available. I have provided an Index, so you don't need to go where you don't want to go. I hope some of this will help.
