Throughout our lives, especially as we get older, our bodies don't work quite the same way they used to. Regular activities such as exercise, work, and child care contribute to new aches and pains. So what happens when that small bothersome ache turns into something more than just a nuisance? That brings me to the field of Pain Management. Pain Management is a branch of medicine dealing specifically with ways in which to manage pain through the use of modern medicine, therapy, education, and lifestyle modification. With the proper diagnosis and treatment plan, pain can be easily controlled.

The dominant artistic movement in the 1940s and 1950s, Abstract Expressionism was the first to place New York City at the forefront of international modern art. The associated artists developed greatly varying stylistic approaches, but shared a commitment to an abstract art that powerfully expresses personal convictions and profound human values. They championed bold, gestural abstraction in all mediums, particularly large painted canvases.
