Medication Management
There are many sources of ongoing chronic pain. Unlike acute pain, which is a normal trigger the body generates to alert you to a possible injury, chronic pain is different. The pain persists for weeks, months or even years and can lead to anxiety and depression, as well as a host of other physical issues.
Living with chronic pain can impact all aspects of day-to-day living. From completing simple tasks in your daily routine to earning a living, chronic pain left untreated or under-treated can bring life to a halt. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that 20% of U.S. adults (50 million) live with chronic pain, which costs the nation up to $635 billion annually (CDC 2018).
Chronic pain treatment is complex, with a diverse range of medications designed for specific conditions and severity. Gravity helps your physician select the best medicine for your individual body, and that means a faster path to identifying the best option to bring you relief. Our pharmacogenetic (PGx) test for chronic pain will show your physician how your individual DNA responds to the various medications to help you get back to your life.
