Living with chronic pain can be exhausting—physically, emotionally, and mentally. Unlike acute pain that comes and goes with an injury or illness, chronic pain persists for weeks, months, or even years. It can interfere with sleep, mobility, work, and overall quality of life. While medications may offer temporary relief, they don’t address the root cause. That’s where physiotherapy comes in—offering a non-invasive, long-term solution for managing and reducing chronic pain.
What is Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain is defined as pain that lasts longer than three months. It can result from previous injuries, arthritis, nerve damage, or chronic illnesses like fibromyalgia. In some cases, the pain continues even after the underlying condition has healed, due to changes in the nervous system and pain pathways.
