These days, few patients understand what this new field in medicine entails. All they know is because of the pain they experience, their lives are now compromised by what they can no longer do. Recent studies indicate that millions of Americans suffer from pain caused by disease or disorder. Still others bear the after-effects of an accident or surgery.

Sadly, when asked, most of them believe as they get older pain is something they must endure. The result is a nation filled with individuals who live their lives in needless distress.

They spend their days in quiet discomfort, never realizing help is available and the possible return to a happy, healthy lifestyle is well within their grasp.

The truth is, now there’s hope.
