Chronic Pain
Chronic pain may leave you wanting to curl up in bed with a heating pad and a bottle of medication to help ease your aches. Although doing exercise or movement of any kind may sound like sheer torture, it may actually be one of the best pain management options for your chronic pain.
Why am I in pain?
If you are in pain and don’t know why, if doctors have examined you and no one can pinpoint why you’re in pain, or you have had multiple surgeries and multiple medications and still cannot manage your pain, you are not alone! If you have experienced pain for greater than 6 months, or have pain that persists even when an injury has had time to heal, you suffer from chronic pain and help is available.
