One of the biggest hurdles many people with chronic pain face is finding something to eat. It’s literally a daily problem that has to be solved.

Personally, it’s something I struggled with even before I started having chronic pain in my right ribs.-->

Jeremiah Morris* - 5-Star Google Review from January, 2026
Some of the kindest and most compassionate medical staff I have ever had the pleasure to know. From the front office staff to the nurses, doctors, and back-of-house staff, everyone truly cares about the patient and their needs and journey. I can’t say enough good things about how every function and department has gone out of their way to see me as an actual human being, not just another billing opportunity, and to do everything they can to see, hear, and treat me to the best of their abilities. I highly recommend it if you are looking for relief and help resolving spinal care issues. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and every one of you!!!!

Living with chronic pain means all my friendships require planning, extra work, and usually pain medication. It’s a level of effort that would make it easy, even understandable, to give up on the whole ordeal. But I don’t. -->

By Crystal Lindell Every month before book club, I count out some pain pills. I have to make sure I have a dose to take before I leave the house, so that they will be fully working when I arrive. And I have to make sure I have another dose to bring along – in case things run late and my pain start

As the old cliché goes: clichés are clichés for a reason. They tend to convey a lot of fundamental truth about the world and life itself.

While dealing with chronic pain for more than a decade now, I have come to appreciate certain clichés in ways that I couldn’t before I got sick and lived to tell the tale. -->
