When You’re In Pain, It Affects Every Part Of Your Life

Whether it started suddenly or has been building over time, pain can make it harder to stay active, sleep well, work comfortably, and enjoy the things you normally do.

You may be experiencing:

  • Back pain that makes it difficult to work or stay active
  • Neck pain and stiffness that limit movement
  • Shoulder, knee, hip, or joint pain that keeps returning
  • Sciatica causing pain, numbness, or tingling down the leg
  • Headaches or migraines that interfere with daily life
  • Pain that worsens with activity, exercise, or movement
  • Difficulty sleeping because of pain
  • Ongoing discomfort that isn’t improving on its own

Tried Everything But Still In Pain?

At first, many people assume the pain will go away. They rest. Take over-the-counter medication. Modify activities.

Some try physical therapy.

Others schedule an appointment with their primary care physician, only to find the next available appointment is weeks away.

But when the pain continues, uncertainty often becomes the most frustrating part.

What’s causing it?
Will it get worse?
Do I need imaging?
Should I see a specialist?

Am I going to need surgery?
