Chronic and persistent pain
Every year, more than 11 million Canadians deal with pain directly related to back problems and other musculoskeletal conditions. While acute (or recent) pain has a very specific role, like an alarm system to warn our body that it is injured, chronic pain does not always have a useful function. It can even persist after an injury heals, which does not make this pain “imaginary”. Therefore, chronic pain is very real and requires appropriate treatment.
It is actually associated with a poorer quality of life compared to other chronic conditions, so that’s saying something. (source ACC) Chronic pain is complex and composed of many facets. This is why chiropractors at ABC Health Clinic work in interdisciplinarity with a group of health professionals from several different fields, particularly in the case of chronic pain, in order to address all the components involved and to establish a rehabilitation plan.
Your chiropractor at ABC Health Clinic will take the time to fully explain the mechanism of your pain, give you concrete tools and recommendations to help you in your daily life and offer you chiropractic care adapted to your condition.
The important thing to remember is that it is never too late to seek care. Obviously, chronic pain is more complex to relieve than acute pain in general. A complete examination, a precise diagnosis and an adapted treatment plan, whether it be in chiropractic alone or with an interdisciplinary follow-up, can provide solutions. This may be the beginning of the pain relief you’ve been looking for. The good news is that because pain is multifactorial, there are several possible avenues. There’s always hope!
