Free Chronic Pain Seminar June 23, 2011

CHANDLER REGIONAL AND MERCY GILBERT MEDICAL CENTERS PROVIDE FREE CHRONIC PAIN SEMINAR

Chronic pain syndrome is a constellation of syndromes that usually do not respond to the medical model of care. This condition is best managed with a multidisciplinary approach.

The amount of time someone has to be in pain for it to be considered chronic pain syndrome varies. Some consider pain lasting for more than six months as diagnostic, while others have said the minimum is three months. It has been suggested that any pain that lasts longer than the reasonable expected healing time for the tissues involved, should be considered chronic pain.

Join us at a FREE seminar as board certified anesthesiologist Matthew Crooks, M.D., discusses chronic pain syndrome and how to best manage it.
