Introduction to Pain Management

Pain management is a branch of medicine that applies science to the reduction of pain. While some types of pain can be chronic, such as headaches, and others acute, such as from surgery, the field of pain management treats all of it as a disease. This allows for the application of science, and the latest advances in medicine to relieve your pain.
