One in five adults in America live with chronic pain, and is one of the top reasons people seek medical care1. Pain affects many aspects of our lives, but with the proper guidance and support, we can learn to go beyond surviving to thrive despite the pain.
There are two types of pain people find themselves living with: acute and chronic. Acute pain is the body's normal response to tissue damage or injury and requires immediate medical treatment. Acute pain will heal and typically only lasts a few months. Chronic pain is an abnormal response that typically does not improve over time. Chronic pain changes how nerves and the brain process pain; misfiring nerve signals continue to tell the body it hurts.
Some of the most common treatments Newport Care uses for effective pain management include:
- Medications
- RICE Protocol
- Electrical Stimulation

- Biofeedback
- Acupuncture
- Chiropractic Therapy
