Understanding Chronic Pain
Chronic pain affects a staggering 70 million Americans, but what is it exactly? Unlike the temporary discomfort of a scraped knee or stubbed toe (which is known as acute pain), chronic pain is like an unwelcome guest that sticks around for months or even years after an injury should have healed. It can impact your life in many ways, causing not just physical discomfort, but also financial stress, limited mobility and emotional struggles like anxiety and depression. Luckily, our physician and team offer the following services to treat that pain at Relieve-Pain and Spine Center:

Causes of Chronic Pain
Sometimes, the cause of chronic pain is clear, like when it stems from past injuries, conditions like arthritis or even cancer. But often, it is a puzzle, making it tricky to treat. This is where experts like Dr. Maxime Debrosse comes in. As a specialist in pain management, he is trained to help you find the best way to ease your pain and get back to enjoying life.
Pain-Management Options
Managing chronic pain is like a toolbox of options. Medications, like over-the-counter pain relievers and prescribed medications, can help. Injections, which block pain signals, are another choice. Electrical stimulation, a painless treatment, might be an option too.
If you are in pain, know that there is hope. You do not need to face it alone. Call 689-208-4848 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Debrosse and his team in Mount Dora, Florida, and start your journey toward relief together by creating a customized treatment plan just for you.
