What does it mean to be a Chronic Pain Specialist?
Hi Everyone,
As an Acupuncturist, I call myself a "Chronic Pain Specialist", not so I can loft myself up there with another title, but to try to convey the full picture of the large amount of experience and knowledge I have accumulated treating chronic pain in as few words as possible. When I say I specialize I mean that I possess skills and knowledge that are unique, and may not be found in other practitioners or clinics.
I have treated numerous cancer patients who in many cases have been dealing with their pain since day one of their diagnosis, who in many cases didn't even know they had a problem until their pain became so great. I have successfully treated patients who have been through numerous surgeries in order to relieve their pain, and are still hurting. I have successfully treated athletes who have injured elbows, shoulders, and knees through the rigors of their sports.
And I have treated a few people with chronic pain to little effect. People who may have gotten results if they continued their care, but they were looking for the magic bullet, the one treatment miracle. The point here is that I have seen A LOT of people with all types of chronic pain in all different places, for a long time, and that is what makes me a specialist. I have taken what has been taught and handed down in my medicine for thousands of years, and I have used it skillfully to relieve pain that has not responded to anything else. I have pretty much seen it all, and that puts me in a unique place to give help that is effective and appropriate, to give you the most relief in the most efficient way.
