Chronic Pain

Chronic Pain

Acute pain is a normal and healthy but very uncomfortable sensation warning your body from physical danger and injuries to prevent further harm.

Chronic pain lasts beyond normal healing, often for weeks or months or even years. It might be headaches, abdominal pain, or joint and muscle aches. In most cases of long lasting pain there is no clear injury or trigger, and hurt and harm are not the same anymore.

Chronic pain is complex, influenced by biological, psychological and social factors, affecting mind and body.
