It is estimated approximately 88% of senior citizens experience some form of chronic pain at any given time. Seniors are prone to chronic pain because of joint and muscle wear and tear, a decrease in physical activity and the presence of other medical conditions. The
pain specialists at Pain Recovery Center of Tyler, proudly serving the greater Tyler, Texas area, specialize in diagnosing and treating chronic pain in patients of all ages, including seniors. Our multimodal treatment approach is designed to treat the true cause of pain and return patients to a pain-free and healthy lifestyle.
