Chronic pain, a never-ending evil?
At the functional rehabilitation center “La Roseraie” (Montfaucon), the workshops will focus on chronic pain and its non-drug treatment. Suffering described as “lasting more than three months”, persisting “more than a month after healing”, or “associated with a lesion which does not heal”. Of very varied origin, these ailments paralyze and greatly complicate the daily lives of patients, often forced to opt for heavy drug treatment. So, on October 21, the center will mobilize several specialists on therapeutic and “natural” options to relieve chronic pain. Stress management, sport, mental and creative activities: everything will be explained in detail by healthcare professionals.
