Do you suffer with chronic pain? According to the American Academy of Pain Management, over 50 million Americans live with chronic pain. Another 25 million live suffer from acute pain due to a surgery or accident. Two-thirds have been dealing with their pain for over 5 years.
Pain can take a toll on a person physically, mentally, and spiritually. Chronic pain can cause loss of productivity, anxiety, depression and an overall diminished quality of life.
Pain is complex. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to pain managment. Many people have found lasting relief from chronic pain after receiving treatment with EMDR. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR is a therapeutic protocol that has shown promising results for many chronic pain sufferers, including accident victims and persons with fibromyalgia. Working with an EMDR-trained therapist, many pain sufferers start getting relief in as little as two one hour sessions.
A number of scientific studies have confirmed the effectiveness of EMDR for chronic pain. If you would like to discuss the possibility of using EMDR to relieve your chronic pain, please call Susan Goertz, M.S., LMFT at (205)210-8099. She has specialized training in EMDR and chronic pain.
