More than 21% of adult Americans suffer from moderate or severe chronic pain, to the point that they choose to seek the help of a physician. Pain is the second most common reason that people visit doctors, exceeded only by cold and upper respiratory infections. However, The National Institute of Health claims that 40 million Americans are unable to find relief from their chronic pain.

At East Coast Pain, our knowledge of pain is far greater than that of regular physicians. We are very dedicated to providing all of our patients with the most effective pain management, and follow a course of conservative medical treatments before undertaking more invasive therapies. Our goal is pain alleviation—a goal often attained by our expert staff; however when it is not possible to completely get rid of pain, we can assure you that we do our best to make the pain tolerable and improve the patients’ functional status.

The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines pain as: an unpleasant sensory and/or emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in term of such damage. Pain is actually a message sent along the nerves to let the brain know that something is damaging the body. The brain responds by sending a message to the muscles or organ to take action.
