usually an identifiable source for the pain cannot be identified.

Endless treatments are given with the promise of relief. How many times can one deal with broken promises and maintain any sense of optimism?

We all deserve to live free of constant pain. Being pain-free is a basic need. We cannot accomplish higher goals and flourish as human beings without first securing the comfort of being in our bodies.
