Relief From Chronic Pain | Healthmad

Relief From Chronic Pain | Healthmad




Pain is a big problem in the U.S. Back pain comes in at the top of the list. It effects 75 to 80 percent of all adults at some time during their lives. It leaves seven million partially or completely disabled, and accounts for over $5 billion in health care costs every year. Doctors still do not know enough about treating chronic pain. Years ago nobody gave pain any attention unless life was in danger. Suffering pain was common place. Nowadays we don’t accept pain well. We want relief and sometimes find it in narcotics that are more disruptive than pain.
