Chronic pain is a major health concern in the U.S., and the leading cause of disability. The costs associated with treating chronic pain are very high and growing higher, and include medications, treatment for side effects, and lost productivity at work. Multi-modality electrotherapy can be a cost-effective solution for patients requiring pain management.
This paper reports on the consequences of pain, treatment options, and common types of pain medication along with their potential disadvantages. Electrotherapy is presented as a cost-effective adjunctive therapy for pain and other symptoms caused by musculoskeletal and soft-tissue conditions.
