Guthrie County Hospital is proud to recognize Pain Awareness Month, a nationwide initiative dedicated to raising awareness about chronic pain, its impact on daily life, and the resources available for effective management.
Chronic pain affects millions of Americans each year and is one of the leading causes of long-term disability. For individuals in Guthrie County and the surrounding communities, Guthrie County Hospital provides compassionate, comprehensive care designed to help patients regain mobility, improve quality of life, and reduce the burden of pain.
“Pain is not something people should have to ‘just live with,’” said Chris Hanson, CRNA, ARNP, NSPM-C. “Whether it’s related to headaches, arthritis, back and neck issues, or conditions like fibromyalgia, there are safe, effective treatment options available right here in Guthrie County.”
The hospital’s pain management program offers services tailored to individual needs, including:
- Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for spine and joint pain
- Treatment for neuropathic pain caused by conditions such as shingles or nerve injuries
- Comprehensive care for patients with fibromyalgia and chronic headaches
- Personalized rehabilitation and wellness planning
By observing Pain Awareness Month, Guthrie County Hospital emphasizes its ongoing commitment to helping patients not only manage pain but also achieve better overall health.
