Orthopedic Specialist Says New Study Found Cause for Chronic Pain

Boise, Idaho ? It?s not surprising that broken bones can cause debilitating pain at the time of injury and throughout the healing process. However, new evidence has emerged that found that people suffering from chronic, widespread pain may be experiencing it as a result of previous bone fractures.

?This development is quite interesting, especially for chronic pain sufferers. If we can determine a better way to treat broken hands or other fractures at the time of injury, we could drastically reduce the amount of time and money spent on pain management techniques for those who struggle with constant pain,? says Direct Orthopedic Care founder and orthopedic surgeon Dr. David Hassinger. ?For those with unexplained pain, and patients with pain throughout the body that cannot be pinpointed, this study offers hope.?

Conducted by the Medical Research Council Lifecourse Epidemiology Unit (MRC LEU), the study found that people with hip, spine, and other fractures were over twice as likely than people who hadn?t sustained any fractures to experience long-term, widespread pain.

To help reduce your risk of fractures, encourage healthy bones by quitting smoking and reducing alcohol intake. ?We know there are many factors that come into play for building strong, healthy bones, especially nutrients such as vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium. Incorporating healthy food into your diet while maintaining an active lifestyle will help prevent brittle bones that are more susceptible to breaks,? Dr. Hassinger stated.

?Because proper medical care is essential to the healing process after a fracture, and even more so now that we know broken bones can have lasting consequences long after healing has taken place, seek immediate orthopedic care after trauma occurs,? says Dr. Hassinger. A direct orthopedic care facility offers extended hours and instant access to a bone specialist.
