Understanding Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is defined as discomfort lasting more than three months, often persisting after an injury has healed or without a clear cause. It can result from…
- Old injuries or surgeries
- Arthritis or joint degeneration
- Nerve damage (neuropathy)
- Back and neck conditions
- Fibromyalgia and other systemic conditions
Unlike temporary pain, chronic pain requires targeted strategies to address both the symptoms and their underlying causes.
Chronic pain is a condition that occurs when the brain concludes there is a threat to a person’s well-being based on the many signals it receives from the body. This condition can and often does occur independently of any actual body tissue damage (due to injury or illness), and beyond normal tissue healing time. Pain is created in the nervous system even after physical tissues have healed.
Chronic pain affects each person experiencing it differently. In some cases, chronic pain can lead to decreased activity levels, job loss, or financial difficulties, as well as anxiety, depression, and disability. Physical therapists work together with chronic pain patients to lessen their pain and restore their activity to the highest possible levels. With treatment, the adverse effects of chronic pain can be reduced.
