| Managing chronic pain can seem insurmountable
to patients without the proper skill set and techniques. |
The U.S. Department of Labor estimates the annual economic
costs of chronic pain at more than $70 billion. The human
toll in the United States alone is put at more than 50 million
people who suffer from chronic pain, resulting in 700 million
lost work days each year. Over 80 percent of office visits
is prompted by pain sufferers. Approximately $47 billion is
spent by those who suffer from chronic back pain, an affliction
that will affect more than 80 percent of Americans during
their lifetime, with relapse rates anywhere from thirty to
seventy percent.
With chronic back pain as one of the most expensive health
problems in the industrialized world and the primary cause
of disability in adults aged 45 and under, pain management
is a crucial health care issue. The most effective treatment
for chronic pain is a comprehensive program in which various
modalities work as a team, offering interventions once considered
to be the realm of alternative medicine.

most effective combination of cooperating specialties to provide
chronic pain patients with the most effective treatment available.
