Chronic Pain Symptoms - Forum Health

Chronic Pain Treatment at Forum Health

Chronic pain is a complex and debilitating condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide, impacting every aspect of daily life. Unlike acute pain, which serves as a warning signal of injury or illness and typically resolves with time, chronic pain persists for weeks, months, or even years, often outlasting its initial cause. This enduring pain can be challenging to manage and may significantly diminish quality of life.

At Fourm Health, we understand the complex nature of chronic pain and its profound impact on physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Our multidisciplinary team takes a personalized approach to chronic pain management, focusing on comprehensive evaluation, targeted interventions, and holistic support to improve quality of life and restore function.

Common Chronic Pain Conditions

At Fourm Health, we recognize the diverse nature of chronic pain and offer support for a wide range of conditions, including:

Back Pain

Chronic back pain can result from injuries, degenerative conditions, or structural abnormalities in the spine, leading to persistent discomfort and mobility issues.

Arthritis

Arthritis encompasses various inflammatory conditions that affect the joints, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are among the most common forms of arthritis.

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive difficulties, often accompanied by other symptoms such as headaches and irritable bowel syndrome.

Migraines and Headaches

Chronic migraines and headaches can significantly impact daily functioning, causing intense head pain, sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and visual disturbances.

Neuropathic Pain

Neuropathic pain results from damage or dysfunction in the nervous system and may manifest as shooting or burning sensations, tingling, numbness, or hypersensitivity to touch.

Symptoms of Chronic Pain

While the specific symptoms of chronic pain vary depending on the underlying condition, common manifestations may include:

Persistent pain that lasts beyond the expected healing time
Reduced mobility and flexibility
Fatigue and sleep disturbances

Mood changes, including depression, anxiety, or irritability

Hear From Our Patients

For most of my life, I was told I needed all these different doctors with different specialties to figure out what was happening in my body. What I really needed was a functional doctor who listened and treated me as a whole person with connected systems. With the support of my Forum Health care team, I’m slowly but surely reversing my severe eczema, hypothyroidism, allergies, and chronic fatigue.

My parents, myself, and my children have been patients of Dr. Peterson for several years. He is an amazing doctor! The amount of time that he spend talking with us about our medical history and ALL of our symptoms was kind of shocking at first. He is incredibly thorough, both in talking to us as patients and in the testing that he does. I have been so impressed with the progress we have made because of his willingness to do testing.

After I had my daughter, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. I felt awful at the time. I was exhausted, bloated, had trouble concentrating, had heart palpitations, dizzy spells, and generally felt like I was carrying a backpack of bricks with me all day, every day. When I came to Dr. Taylor’s office he implemented a thorough and detailed plan for me...

Amazing doctors that actually listen and care about your health!

... Not only am I feeling better first the first time in years, but I’m finally losing weight and inches in a healthy, sustainable way! They’ve helped me to heal my gut and we are taking my PCOS on head on - it’s amazing and something that conventional medicine has been spinning their wheels with for years! I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me and know that I am a client for life!
