Chronic pain is any kind of pain in any part of the body that has been continuing for 12 weeks or longer. Generally, this pain begins to restrict a person’s ability to move, work, or even perform everyday tasks. The pain is often caused by an underlying condition, such as arthritis. Many of these underlying conditions can be managed or treated directly by a professional like our professional Dr. Cynthia W. Richards MD, Dr. Meisha K. Abbasinejad MD, and the team’s at Cape Fear Physical Medicine & Rehab.

It’s possible to cope with, manage, or even treat chronic pain. One of the most common methods is prescription pain management medication which can be sufficient for many patients. These medications are good at treating pain and the symptoms of an underlying condition. For example, NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) help with inflammation caused by knee arthritis. Opioids can be used to treat severe pain, but there are other options too.

Physical therapy is one of the most widely used pain management and treatment methods. Also, certain kinds of injections can help a patient manage pain localized in a specific area. Here at Cape Fear Physical Medicine & Rehab, we provide these options as well as more advanced management and treatment options. Some of these include stem cell or PRP therapies which can help your body heal naturally and actually treat the underlying condition causing your pain. Dr. Cynthia W. Richards MD, Dr. Meisha K. Abbasinejad MD, and the team’s are fully capable of helping you in a number of ways.
