Pain Relief

-

Due to the accelerati­ng pace of life and fierce competitio­n in modern times, various bodily pains now torture some people and significan­tly affect their health. The 2017 Global Pain Index, a global study into the impact of pain, showed that 91 percent of Chinese people have experience­d bodily pain, and 34 percent experience pain weekly. The most common places for pain were the neck, back, and shoulders.

At present, many Chinese hospitals have introduced special pain management department­s. However, contrasted with the treatment of curable ailments, the goal of pain treatment is management and control.
