What Is Chronic Pain
Pain is a normal part of life. Everyone experiences pain every now and then. Whether you strain a muscle, stub your toe, or get a paper cut on your finger, the sensation of pain is your body’s way to alert you that you’re hurt. As soon as the injury heals, the pain typically goes away.
However, chronic pain can last for more than six months. Even after your injury heals, your body continues to transmit pain signals to your brain.
Chronic pain can occur anywhere in the body and affect your flexibility, endurance, mobility, and strength. The pain can feel like a burning or aching sensation or a sharp or dull throbbing. You could be in pain every day or experience intermittent symptoms that come and go randomly or worsen during certain physical activities.
Common Symptoms of Chronic Pain
Different patients describe the type of pain they feel in various ways. Sensations could include:
- Shooting
- Aching
- Burning
- Stiffness
- Throbbing
- Squeezing
- Stinging
Chronic pain also causes more than just physical pain. It can lead to many other symptoms ranging from mild to severe. Common symptoms associated with chronic pain include:
- Irritability and other mood changes
- Fatigue
- Joint pain
- Muscle aches
- Insomnia or trouble falling asleep
- Reduced or lost flexibility, stamina, and mobility
- Depression and anxiety
A common symptom among individuals suffering from chronic pain is mental illness. Many people develop depression if they can’t return to work or care for themselves. Being trapped at home all day can significantly affect a person’s mental health and overall well-being.

Chronic pain can result from various medical conditions, such as:
- Endometriosis
- Cancer

Although we can’t guarantee results, we will do our best to reach your desired outcome. The plan we create for you could involve one treatment method or a combination of two or more. We will personalize our services to meet your needs.
Lifestyle Changes
Multiple factors can cause pain and worsen it, such as stress. Simple changes to your lifestyle could minimize the severity or occurrence of chronic pain. These lifestyle changes include:
- Exercise – Reducing pain with physical activity might seem counterintuitive. However, the right kinds of exercise can strengthen muscles, restore range of motion, and manage chronic pain caused by certain medical conditions.
- Stress – It’s critical to practice different techniques to limit the stress in your life. Breathing exercises, meditation, and massage can keep you relaxed so you can keep your pain at bay when encountering stressors.
- Diet – The food you eat plays a crucial role in your physical and mental health. Eliminating foods responsible for causing inflammation, such as carbs and red meat, could reduce inflammation in your body.
- Sleep – Everyone knows the importance of getting enough quality sleep every night. It provides a range of health benefits and reduces stress.
Chiropractic Care
A chiropractor uses their hands to manipulate the spine and other bones back into their correct position. If any part of the skeletal system is out of place, it could press against the nerves and other structures in the body, leading to pain.
Different techniques can alleviate pain in the bones, muscles, connective tissue, and joints. A chiropractic adjustment can also restore mobility and function, reduce inflammation, and relieve muscle tension. Routine chiropractic appointments could manage certain conditions and prevent additional damage.
Physical Therapy
A physical therapist can guide you through various exercises, stretches, and other techniques to reduce or alleviate your pain. They can also improve issues associated with:
- Balance
- Range of motion
- Endurance
- Strength
- Mobility
- Posture
The method that works best for you will depend on your condition. Some people can’t avoid surgery for traumatic injuries and diseases. However, if you can manage chronic pain with weekly or monthly physical therapy appointments, you could find relief without a costly surgical procedure and extended recovery period.
Massage Therapy
Massage reduces not only stress but the pain associated with it. Massage therapy can reduce tension, relieve anxiety, and loosen stiff muscles and joints.
Different types of massage therapy techniques could manage chronic pain for a range of medical conditions, including:
- Pregnancy-related aches and pains
- Headaches
- Joint pain
- Digestive disorders
- Strained muscles
Acupuncture
Acupuncture can stimulate the central nervous system. It triggers a response to release chemicals into the spinal cord, brain, and muscles. An acupuncturist inserts tiny needles in specific areas of the body called acupoints. The needles stimulate nerves in the body to promote blood flow and reduce pain.
