Chronic Pain Treatment
Everyone can experience pain, and not everyone experiences chronic pain. An individual suffering from chronic pain will not get better with a few days of rest. When the pain signals remain active in the body for weeks, months, and years, the individual suffers from chronic pain and requires medical intervention.
Chronic pain can result from an injury, surgery, or an underlying medical condition. Individuals suffering from chronic pain can have their professional and personal lives affected. Many lose work days between the physical symptoms and scheduling doctor's appointments. Further, many feel limited in participating in activities they once enjoyed on a daily basis.
It's crucial to consult a pain specialist for evaluation to identify any underlying condition or untreated injury that requires attention.

Dr. Rao. I can't find the words to tell you how much he has meant to me. I followed him from an old practice to his very new high tech office. They offer so many different areas of assistance to those with issues from nutrition to spinal surgery... and much more. His office is professional.

Dr. Rao is such an amazing doctor! During my first visit, he never tried to rush through my appt.; he genuinely listened to all my concerns and then took his time to explain to me in detail all his recommendations and how they would help me.
