Dr. Eellan Sivanesan, MD, FASA was recently featured in a Newsweek article on the current state of chronic pain management. Newsweek interviewed the nation’s leading chronic pain specialists and researchers, asking why the number of chronic pain patients is rising if the science is truly accelerating.
According to Dr. Sivanesan, more people are seeking help with chronic pain as the issue becomes normalized: “Chronic pain is increasingly recognized not as a personal weakness, but as a legitimate medical condition—one that deserves careful evaluation to identify its underlying cause and guide effective treatment.”
