What Makes Pain “Chronic”?

There are two types of pain: acute and chronic. Acute pain is the result of a sudden accident, injury or trauma. It lasts for a limited period of time, after which it fades, either on its own or in response to treatment. While the results of an accident or injury might linger (such as a limp), the pain does not continue unabated without explanation.

Chronic pain, on the other hand, does not diminish in the expected timeframe, nor does it respond to treatments which ought otherwise be able to heal it. Because of this, chronic pain can present a severe challenge to people who are unable to live a normal life or to get the help they need finding ease and comfort.

What Can Cause Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain can result from many factors. Degenerative diseases or illnesses such as cancer can result in significant, long-lasting pain that doesn’t respond to Western medical treatments. Similarly, fibromyalgia, trigeminal neuralgia, and rheumatoid arthritis may all fail to respond to conventional treatments.

Injuries such as car accidents or falls may result in chronic pain as well, even though at the time it seemed the pain was acute and would fade in time.

How Can a Chiropractor Help?

Our chiropractor has many tools for treating chronic pain. Massage therapy, cold laser treatment, manual adjustments, spinal decompression and more can all help reduce your pain and realign your body for better functioning. In some cases, nutritional counseling, lifestyle advice, and weight loss can also significantly reduce your feelings of pain and discomfort. We will customize a treatment plan for you to find what works and put you on the path to greater health today.
