Unfortunately, treating chronic pain is not as easy as simply treating the cause. Treating the root can at times, help alleviate the pain, but this does not necessarily mean that it will not return. Anyone that suffers from chronic pain should receive a thorough evaluation by our physician to observe if a treatable problem exists or if the issue might be a disease.
In several cases however, the combination of the underlying cause along with the pain turns out to be more complex than one would think. Agonizing diseases might be chronic and difficult to manage. Some other times, pain might stick around even after the primary cause seems to have been treated and disappeared. In many cases, the source of pain turns out to be simply mysterious!
Now and then physicians may run all sorts of tests without figuring out what the cause of pain is, which prevents them from developing a diagnosis. This may be frustrating to a lot of patients, which is why it is necessary for your physician to be a pain expert as well as doctor. People who experience chronic pain usually need two approaches to treating chronic pain. These approaches include getting treatment for the fundamental cause and receiving treatment for the pain itself. The doctors at Atlanta Medical Clinic are and experienced and specialized in these two fields to help patients like you get back on track as quickly as possible.
