Chronic Pain Treatment: Sandra Rubio has worked with Dr. Alex Jimenez for about 6 years, providing health care services to patients at Dr. Jimenez's clinic. As a result, Sandra has learned and witnessed how many health benefits chiropractic care can provide for patients who begin treatment with Dr. Alex Jimenez. Although chiropractic care may sometimes require more than a single treatment session as well as regular maintenance to completely improve the patient's symptoms, Dr. Alex Jimenez offers positive, trustworthy, safe and effective non-invasive alternative treatment options without the use of drugs and/or medications and he also makes sure to educate patients thoroughly regarding their specific health issue. Sandra Rubio discusses how essential it is for people with chronic pain to first seek chiropractic care with Dr. Alex Jimenez as the non-surgical choice for their injuries and/or conditions in order for them to achieve overall health and wellness.
Chronic Pain Treatment
Chronic pain is medically defined as pain which lasts for an extended amount of time. The distinction between acute and chronic pain is sometimes determined by an arbitrary interval of time since onset; the two most commonly used markers being 3 months and 6 months since onset, although many healthcare professionals have established the transition from acute to chronic pain at 12 months. Other healthcare specialists and researchers apply the definition of acute pain symptoms to pain that lasts less than 30 days, while the definition of chronic pain symptoms to pain that lasts more than six months. Subacute pain is medically defined as pain that lasts from one to six months. Chronic pain may originate anywhere in the body, such as in the case of chronic back pain, or it may originate in the brain or spinal cord, such as in the case of fibromyalgia. While chronic pain is considered difficult to treat, many healthcare professionals, including chiropractors, can effectively improve chronic pain.
