Chronic pain is persistent pain that may be caused by inflammation or dysfunction to the nerves that signal pain to the body. Everyone experiences pain in a unique way. Common chronic pain symptoms include headaches, back and joint pain, neurogenic pain, and post-surgical pain. Chronic pain is not necessarily created by trauma or accidental injury. Chronic pain is diagnosed after 3 months of consistent pain. Chronic pain may last several months years, or even decades. The Practice is dedicated to relieving pain in a holistic manner. We believe that our patients deserve whole-body health and wellness through the years.
Chronic pain is complex, which is why our providers create personalized, integrative treatment plans for each patient. At NP Practice, we offer several therapeutics for patients suffering with chronic pain.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition in which there is widespread musculoskeletal pain throughout the body. People suffering from fibromyalgia may also experience fatigue, tenderness in various areas, and insomnia. Severity of pain felt from fibromyalgia varies from person to person. People suffering from fibromyalgia may seek treatment at NP Practice, to reduce symptoms and to improve their quality of life through medication, education, lifestyle changes, and self-care strategies. Effective treatment plans that we develop reduce stress on the body, both mentally and physically. Ultimately, our main purpose is to assist all of our patients in their pursuit of a healthier, happier life—each individual at a time.

It is common to have neuropathic pain after shingles outbreaks have healed, especially since the nerve fibers can cause extended burning pain.
Signs and symptoms of neuropathic pain from shingles include:
• Pain that lasts three months or longer
• Sensitivity to a light touch
• Itchiness and numbness
Neuropathic pain from shingles may cause other problems such as insomnia, fatigue, depression, and lack of appetite. At NP Practice, our providers feel empathy for the pain our patients experience and we help patients improve health and wellness through total body pain management.

Arthritis affects joints with inflammation and limits mobility due to recurring pain. Other forms of arthritis includes osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, as well as fibromyalgia. Inflammatory conditions such as these vary in severity, and in some cases, people lose ability to perform everyday tasks. Treatment for arthritis enhances pain relief and joint rejuvenation. At NP Practice, our patients’ quality of life is our paramount purpose.
Therapeutic options offered at NP Practice, for arthritis or joint inflammation include Stem Cell Treatment, Cortisone Injections, Trigger Point Injections (TPI), and other noninvasive treatments.
