Hurtin’ for certain? Doc specializes in treating chronic pain

BY TOM LLOYD Dr. Harold Cordner and
Staff Writer Danielle Larocca.

While it is certain chronic pain is PHOTOS BY GORDON RADFORD
one of the most common problems
facing Americans, the number of peo-
ple affected is not clear.

The National Center for Comple-
mentary and Integrative Health at
the National Institutes of Health, for
example, says there are 25.3 million
Americans suffering from chronic
pain, while WebMD, evidently using a
different definition, puts the figure at
more than 100 million.

Meanwhile, the National Institute of
Neurological Disorders claims 80 per-
cent of all adults will experience chronic
pain in their lifetime and adds that it be-
comes increasingly common with age.

Dr. Harold Cordner at Florida Pain
Management Associates in Sebastian
puts the problem into more local-
ized terms, saying “it amazes me how
many people we see a day that can

The Centers for Disease Control adds
there is no single test that can measure
chronic pain with any kind of precision.

About the only area of general
agreement is that health professionals
– from primary care doctors to sur-
geons to pain specialists like Cordner
– have to rely mainly on their patients’
self-descriptions of the type, timing
and location of their pain.

Those descriptions, according to

accurate diagnosis often leads to inef-
fective or inappropriate treatment.

Citing compression fractures of the
spine as an example, Cordner says
“the traditional treatment from pri-
mary care physicians might be [the
patient goes to] the hospital and then
they put you into [physical] therapy.”

But Cordner bluntly asks, “Why
would you go to therapy? You broke
your spine. If you broke your arm,
would you be exercising? No. They’d
put you in a cast and you rest it for six
weeks to let it heal.”

Cordner says he often employs a
technique called “kyphoplasty” to treat
compression fractures. In a nutshell ky-
phoplasty attempts to replace bone lost
to osteoporosis or various cancers – by
filling that void with a solid, cement-
like mixture.

(Kyphoplasty has become increas-
ingly available nationwide but NIH
warns that “studies have questioned
the effectiveness of these procedures.”)

Cordner treats chronic pain brought
on by a wide variety of problems. In
addition to compression fractures he
cites pinched nerves, shingles, unsuc-
cessful back surgeries, degenerative
disks, arthritis, hip and knee pain,
neck pain and a host of other joint and
musculoskeletal problems.

“If your primary care physician does
some treatment or some physical ther-
apy and it takes your pain away, that’s
great. Then you don’t need me. But if
your pain persists despite treatment or
despite time, and it’s not getting better,
then I think you need the help of some-
one who’s a pain specialist.”

Clearly not lacking self-confidence,
Cordner goes on to claim “even other the
pain management physicians send their
really, really tough cases to us to treat.”

The American Chronic Pain Asso-
ciation states, “It is actually possible to
increase your level of functioning and
quality life while reducing your sense
of suffering” from chronic pain, but it
sternly warns “the road is not always an
easy one.”

Real Estate Sales on the Barrier Island: Jan. 19 to Jan. 25

Real estate activity on the barrier island was a bit quiet for late January with 7 transactions reported,

The top sale of the week was of an extraordinary lot in Riomar. The property at 1930 Ocean Drive, with
frontage both on the ocean and on the Riomar Country Club golf course, has been on the market for
several years. The most recent asking price as of Nov. 28 was $4.595 million. The sale closed on Jan. 24 for
$4.4 million.

Both the seller and the purchaser in the transaction were represented by Rory O’Dare of Treasure Coast
Sotheby’s.
