Chronic pain is ongoing discomfort that lasts six or more months.
For many, a chronic pain condition develops from an acute pain condition, such as an injury. However, the pain remains long after the damage heals. For others, chronic pain occurs without any known cause.
The severity of the pain varies and may range from an ongoing ache to severe pain that makes it nearly impossible to manage your day-to-day activities.
No matter the cause or severity of your chronic pain, the team at Alternative Physical Medicine of Colorado takes a professional and unique approach, developing treatment plans specific to your needs and goals.
