DO YOU SUFFER FROM CHRONIC PAIN? September is Pain Awareness Month

If you are suffering from chronic pain, it may be time to schedule a visit with Justin Faye, MD – a physician specializing in advanced pain medicine techniques and strategies at South Texas Health System Clinics in McAllen.

Raising Awareness About Chronic Pain

Every September, Pain Awareness Month helps to raise awareness about the challenges faced by people living with chronic pain. According to the National Institutes of Health, chronic pain is pain that lasts for longer than several months – usually defined as a minimum of three to six months – or for longer than what would typically be viewed as “normal” healing. What’s more, nearly one out of every five adults in the United States has had or has chronic pain and nearly half of those affected had what is known as high-impact chronic pain — pain that has limited their daily life or work activities.

If you suffer from chronic pain, know that quality care is available at a close-to-home location in the Rio Grande Valley. Justin Faye, MD, is a South Texas Health System® Clinics’ physician who specializes in advanced pain medicine techniques and strategies.
