What is pain and what does a pain specialist do

by clinic

Relieving pain is a divine art. Hippocrates

Pain is one of the most common reasons for visiting a physician. Pain is not only a medical symptom, but also an experience that affects the social and current life of the person, impairing the quality of life, and sometimes turning it upside down. Therefore, it is unquestionable that the treatment of pain is an ethical necessity. Sudden onset pain, which acts as an alarm, informs us of the damage, that is, of the disease, contributes to the healing process by forcing us to seek medical help, and even protects us from possible dangers with our experience. On the other hand, chronic pain, that is, long-term persistent pain, whether it is an organic lesion or not, reduces the quality of life by causing physical and emotional dysfunction, and impairs function by preventing work ability. Chronic pain, which has no role in the organism, prevents the person from normal life, and its treatment compels the physician. In particular, unorganized treatment efforts increase the use of hospitals and bring a socio-economic burden. In the pain clinic;
