Chronic Pain

Are you living with chronic pain?

What is chronic pain?

Chronic pain is defined as pain that persists for weeks, months, or even years, beyond the normal healing time for an injury or illness. It can result from a variety of underlying conditions, including:

  • Chronic back pain, neck pain, arthritis, and fibromyalgia are common examples of musculoskeletal conditions that can cause ongoing pain and discomfort.

  • Conditions such as diabetic neuropathy, sciatica, and postherpetic neuralgia can cause nerve damage and result in chronic pain symptoms, such as burning, tingling, or shooting pain.

  • Chronic headaches and migraines can significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life, leading to persistent pain, sensitivity to light and sound, and other symptoms.

  • Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis can cause chronic inflammation and pain throughout the body, affecting joints, muscles, and organs.

  • Chronic fatigue syndrome is characterized by extreme fatigue that doesn't improve with rest, often accompanied by widespread pain, headaches, and cognitive difficulties.

  • Conditions such as fibromyalgia and complex regional pain syndrome involve abnormal processing of pain signals in the central nervous system, leading to widespread pain and hypersensitivity.
