Comprehensive Regenerative Pain Program

Pain is your body’s way of suggesting you need to take care of the source of the sensation-think of broken bones, cuts in the skin, or torn muscles-or there may be ongoing causes of pain such as arthritis, cancer, or ear infections. Sometimes chronic pain persists, firing in the nervous system for weeks, months, and even years after treatment measures have been received or even in the absence of any past injury or evidence of bodily damage.

Signs and Symptoms

Many chronic pain conditions affect older adults, though the symptoms are not limited to any one age group. Common chronic pain complaints include:

• headache
• lower back pain
• cancer pain
• arthritis pain
• neurogenic pain
• psychogenic pain

While extensive research has been conducted on pain, there is much that remains a mystery. People also have various thresholds for pain and, therefore, can experience it differently. Some of the common descriptions of pain include but are not limited to pounding, jabbing, throbbing, burning, piercing, and stinging.
