Conditions We Treat
Chronic Pain
An integrated, biopsychosocial approach to pain that just won't quit.
Overview
Understanding Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is persistent and prolonged discomfort that can affect various parts of the body, lasting for weeks, months, or even years. It is not a temporary or acute pain but an ongoing condition with various underlying causes — often resulting in significant impact on a person's daily life and well-being.
Unlike acute pain, chronic pain rarely has a single cause. It typically reflects an interplay of physical, neurological, and systemic factors, and it deserves an evaluation that considers the whole person.
At FRI we look for what's actually driving the pain — and design a plan that addresses every contributor.
