NORWICH – Most people experience pain at some point in their life – whether it’s from a stubbed toe, a headache, a broken bone or any number of other injuries. The pain experienced may be significant, but in each of these instances it is a temporary state that goes away as the body heals. That isn’t the case for people living with chronic pain.
According to Chris Kisacky, VP of service coordination and delivery at UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital, more than 100 million Americans live with chronic pain.
“That’s more than those suffering from diabetes, heart disease and cancer combined,” she said.
How to manage pain will be the topic of this month’s installment of UHS Chenango Memorial’s 2019 Women’s Health Series. The program, featuring pain management specialist Oana Stingu, will take place Tuesday, August 20 at the Bohemian Moon restaurant, 103 Main St. in Norwich. The event will begin at 6 p.m. with an optional $15 buffet and cash bar. The presentation and discussion will follow at 7 p.m.
Stingu, a physician assistant with UHS Spine Care and Pain Relief in Norwich, will discuss pain management in general, as well as different treatment options for people living with chronic pain.
“Our pain management team offers a wide range of medical and surgical pain relief methods. They provide individuals with tools to manage pain and coach them on lifestyle changes that can enhance pain relief,” Kisacky said.
According to the health care expert, some people have preconceived notions about pain management which may prevent them from seeking care from specialists like Stingu.
“Chronic pain can impact all areas of your life from your mood and sleep, to your ability to move around and even to think clearly. Effectively controlling that pain can aid in recovery, as well as give people the ability to more comfortably participate in daily activities,” she said.
“As Oana will discuss, there are many non-opioid treatments available for pain, including everything from surgical interventions to non-drug remedies such as massages, acupuncture and physical therapy.”
According to Kisacky, both women and men are welcome to attend the program – part of the hospital’s 2019 Women’s Health Series. Reservations are not required but are accepted. For more information on the series or to reserve a seat, contact Emily Anderson at (607) 337-4239 or via email at emily.anderson@nyuhs.org.
UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital is a member of the United Health Services, a locally owned not-for-profit 916-bed hospital and health care system serving the Greater Binghamton region from more than 40 locations around New York’s Southern Tier.
