What Is Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain affects millions of individuals, impacting daily life and overall well-being. At Patients Medical in New York City, we offer a multidisciplinary approach to chronic pain management, combining conventional medicine with holistic therapies. Led by Dr. Stuart Weg, our team specializes in identifying the root causes of pain and developing personalized treatment plans to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Whether you’re dealing with arthritis, fibromyalgia, neuropathy, or unexplained pain, our integrative care model aims to restore balance and promote healing.

Chronic pain is defined as pain that persists for more than three months, often continuing even after the initial injury or illness has healed. It can result from various conditions, including:

  • Arthritis: Inflammation of the joints causing pain and stiffness.
  • Fibromyalgia: A disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain.
  • Neuropathy: Damage to the nerves leading to pain, tingling, or numbness.
  • Back Pain: Persistent pain in the lower, middle, or upper back.
