Overcoming Chronic Pain

Pain is the main reason people go to the doctor. Unfortunately, 20% of American adults suffer from moderate to severe chronic pain , as do 13% of North American teens and 10 to 30% of the adult population of Europe.

Its effects are physical, psychological and spiritual. Acute pain is typically a pain with a specific, identifiable cause, and a pain like twisting your ankle that resolves relatively quickly. Additionally, pain becomes chronic when it lasts three to six months.
