Chronic Pain Research
Firstline Therapy’s effect on Chronic Pain
Most pain is acute, meaning it is sudden and caused by something specific. In contrast, chronic pain is ongoing and can last longer than six months. Chronic pain can continue even after the original cause of the pain, such as an injury or illness, is healed or gone away. The pain signals can remain active in the nervous system for weeks, months, or even years.
Some people can even suffer from chronic pain despite having no past or current bodily damage. The stress from chronic pain affects the body in many ways, producing physical conditions like muscle tension, limited mobility, low energy, and mental issues like depression and anxiety.
How Can FirstLine Therapy Help With Chronic Pain?
FirstLine Therapy is a program designed for the individual patient to affect the underlying causes of many common health problems, including chronic pain. Chronic inflammation is the cause of many instances of chronic pain, and there is strong evidence that your diet can contribute to increased systemic inflammation.
The supervised lifestyle and dietary modification program you’ll find with FirstLine Therapy could address the underlying causes of your chronic pain. As noted by Robert Bonakdar, M.D., in his talk “Pain Management: Symptomatic Relief of Inflammation,” understanding the stages of inflammation and its pathways can help clinicians and researchers improve pain management. It can provide relief and a renewed sense of wellness in ways that also improve other health outcomes!
