Chronic pain can seem like a struggle, no matter where it is in your body. You may find yourself exhausted from pain keeping you up at night. Or you might be frustrated by pain limiting your ability to move around like you used to. And you may even miss work because of it.

Pain can arise from a wide range of diseases and injuries — such as sprained back, arthritis or cancer. In other cases, pain may simply be a result of aging or poor posture. Sometimes, the pain becomes unbearable, and more conservative treatments — like physical therapy — no longer work. At that point, it may be time to look into medications and procedures to find relief.
