Chronic Pain information

Accident victims have so much to deal with all at once – a serious diagnosis, potentially permanent physical limitations, the cost of medical care.  When chronic and intense pain plagues a patient, it can be almost unbearable. 
Acute pain is temporary and will subside once an injury is treated.  Chronic pain is an ongoing and usually consistent pain that is more difficult to treat. 

Pain is subjective

Pain as a sensation can not be technically quantified.  Some people have a higher pain tolerance than others.  What you may consider to be severe pain, rating a “10”, someone else may rate only as a “5”.  This subjective quality makes pain difficult to treat.

Pain management has been researched for years

Today, in addition to strong medication, there are pain management techniques such as mental exercises to occupy your attention. 

Although chronic pain can occur with many types of severe injuries, it’s most often associated with burns. Sometimes behavioral and lifestyle changes can modify pain severity.

Treatment for chronic pain may include any combination of:

  • Medication
  • Physical therapy
  • Exercise
  • Heat therapy
  • Massage
  • Surgery
  • Acupuncture
