During the 2011 September Pain Awareness Month it is a good time to reflect on how to become a better advocate for improved access to information on holistic and alternative treatments for all those who suffer with chronic pain. Pain is a national health crisis that knows neither political parties nor constituent boundaries.
It is the number one reason people seek medical help. Chances are you know someone who lives with persistent pain – maybe it’s you.
At least 116 million U.S. adults – or about 4 in 10 – suffer from chronic pain every year, leading to extra sick days, lost wages and productivity, said the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report published on June 29th 2011. The IOM report excluded costs associated with pain in children or members of the U.S. military, making the estimate conservative and yet higher than economic costs of heart disease, cancer and diabetes combine. The federal Medicare program takes the brunt of the medical costs of pain, bearing a quarter of expenditures. The IOM also reported that $560 to $635 billion is spent each year in the United States for medical treatment and lost productivity due to chronic pain.
Chronic pain is defined as pain that lasts for 30 to 60 days, or longer. Sometimes the pain lasts year after year. It can include anything from pain experienced with cancer, to arthritis, fibromyalgia, and low back pain. It remains hard for doctors to diagnose, is often self-treated by patients and commonly perceived as less than a legitimate condition.
Chronic pain commonly sets in after other illnesses, injuries and medical treatments. Similar to that, acute pain — also addressed in the report — is a sudden, short-lived kind of pain, but can be a recurrent and equally complex problem. Pain in the lower back is the most commonly reported pain in the United States, followed by knee pain, severe headaches or migraines and neck pain.
How is it possible, with our modern scientific mainstream medicine, that people are suffering more, not less? Clearly, despite their arsenal of elaborate and costly hi-tech medical procedures, doctors cannot diagnose how to stop this growing national health emergency and many do not recommend a holistic or an alternative approach to chronic pain management.
While a number of effective treatments and therapies exist, many Americans lack the ability to access care that, in some cases, is the difference between life and death. Under-treated chronic pain has serious physiological, psychological, social, and economic consequences.
Did You Know?
- A Congressional mandate declared 2000 – 2010 as the Decade of Pain Control and Research.
- The barriers to appropriate and effective care are numerous, and disproportionately affect women and minorities.
- Pain patients suffer from limited access to health care, pain specialists, sites of care and prescriptions; policies that interfere with the use of appropriate medicines; limited pain research funding and negative stereotypes about pain patients.
