Abstract
Chronic pain is a multifaceted problem that adds challenges to patient care. Additionally, there are multiple mechanisms by which chronic pain becomes a persistent problem. This chapter establishes the validity of utilizing multimodal and multidisciplinary treatment paradigms for the treatment of chronic pain. This includes multiple classes of non-opioid medications as well as multiple therapeutic modalities including physical therapy, psychology, acupuncture, and others.
