Coping Strategies

The longstanding debate about whether chronic neck and back pain are real or just in a patient’s head is over. For all but a small percentage of unfortunate patients, chronic neck and back pain are a constellation of very real physical factors combined with personal perceptions and expectations about pain. The transition from acute to chronic pain is significantly influenced by the physical and psychological factors that you have learned from your surroundings.

There is now sufficient compelling research to suggest that chronic neck and back pain can be greatly reduced through public education and changes in behavior.  These are exactly the tools and education you will receive at this office.  Getting rid of your current neck or back pain is one goal.  Teaching you how to keep it from returning is just as important.
