Chronic pain is defined as pain that has lasted for 6 or more months and has not responded to traditional treatments such as bed rest, medication, physical therapy, and sometimes even surgery. We like to define chronic pain as pain that takes valuable aspects of your life away for any period of time. Pain is not a solitary internal struggle that an individual must battle; it affects everyone around you including your friends, family, and coworkers. When your pain causes you to stop being able to fully participate in your life, it’s time to come see the specialized professionals at Midwest Medix. No one should have to spend their days wondering if they’ll every feel well again, no one deserves to live with chronic pain. That is, always has been, and always will be our philosophy.
