Understanding Chronic Pain

What is Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain is a persistent pain that lasts for weeks, months, or even years. Unlike acute pain, which is a direct response to an injury and typically resolves once the injury heals, chronic pain continues long after the initial cause has been treated. This type of pain can stem from various conditions, including nerve damage, musculoskeletal issues, or underlying diseases.

Common Types of Chronic Pain

At Chicago Neuro Pain Clinic, we treat a variety of chronic pain conditions, including:

Neuropathic Pain

Neuropathic pain is caused by damage to the nerves and can result in symptoms such as burning, tingling, or shooting pain. This type of pain is often associated with conditions like diabetes, shingles, or nerve injuries.

Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical help. It can be caused by a range of issues, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or muscle strain. Chronic back pain can be debilitating, affecting your ability to perform daily activities.

Joint Pain

Joint pain can result from arthritis, bursitis, or other inflammatory conditions. It often affects the knees, hips, shoulders, and hands, leading to stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility.

Our Approach to Pain Management
