The first step in managing chronic pain is seeking immediate medical attention. Our healthcare providers can perform a thorough examination, assess your condition, and review your current treatment plan.

This information allows us to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

They may also employ techniques such as massage, heat or cold therapy, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation.
Self-care strategies include getting adequate rest, using over-the-counter pain relievers as directed, and practicing mindfulness techniques like meditation and deep breathing exercises to manage stress and reduce pain perception.
