Pain Treatment

Pain has a profound and multifaceted impact on the quality of life of those who suffer from it.

There are various types and effects of pain pathology:

Physical Pain: Chronic pain can significantly limit mobility and the ability to perform daily activities. People experience fatigue, decreased muscle strength, and general physical deterioration.

Psychological Pain: The constant presence of pain can lead to emotional disorders such as depression, anxiety, and stress.

Social Impairment: The physical and emotional limitations associated with chronic pain can reduce participation in social activities.

Work and Economic Problems: Chronic pain can make it difficult or impossible to perform work tasks, which can result in job loss, decreased income, and increased financial stress.

Sleep Disturbance: Chronic pain often interferes with sleep, which can lead to fatigue and worsen pain, creating a vicious cycle that negatively affects overall well-being.

Daily Functional Impairment: Everyday activities such as dressing, bathing and eating can become challenging. This increases dependence on others and can affect personal autonomy.

Chronic pain not only affects the person suffering from it, but also their family and social environment, increasing the burden of care and stress on care-givers. Effective management of chronic pain often requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes medical treatment, psychological support and self-care strategies to improve the quality of life of patients.

At the Vilafortuny Medical Institute we have been focusing on pain treatment for several decades, and experience has led us to apply very effective treatments that substantially improve the lives of people who suffer from it.
