September has been designated as Pain
Awareness Month because of the large number of Americans that struggle with pain
on a daily basis. The pain physicians at Pain Recovery Center of Tyler are here
to share facts on acute and chronic pain, common causes of each and the
importance of pain management.
Acute pain is a normal sensation that
occurs immediately after an injury and subsides as the injury heals, but
chronic pain is very different. Chronic pain is typically
characterized as pain that lasts longer than 12 weeks (3 months), often without
an injury or health condition present, or well after an injury has healed.

chronic pain? Read our full blog article dedicated to this topic here.
Pain management is an extremely
important portion of the medical field. With millions of Americans struggling
with chronic pain each day, pain physicians and their specialized training are
critical for diagnosing and treating the pain.
If you live in the Tyler, Texas area
and are struggling with acute or chronic pain, or would like to learn more
about pain management during Pain Awareness Month, please contact the pain physicians
at Pain Recovery Center of Tyler today for an appointment.
