Chronic pain is defined as a pain lasting longer than it takes for normal healing of the tissues. Most of these patients have ongoing pain for longer than 6 months. There are a number of things that can influence pain levels.
Including fear and anxiety, family concerns, job issues, treatments not working and conflicting opinions of the diagnosis. Patients often become depressed and withdraw from social interactions and activities which make their pain worse. We are trained in treating chronic pain, which includes explaining to you why the pain has become persistent, and helping you to identify lifestyle factors that can be modified e.g. exercise, stress, diet, sleeping patterns, relaxation and a few others.
We can help you with management of your chronic pain condition, in order to give you a better quality of life.
