CHRONIC PAIN

When pain has been present for more than 3 months, it is termed chronic and a more holistic approach should be considered.  Chronic pain is a complex state and your treatment approach must be multi-factorial.  

Three months is generally the amount of time needed for healing of the tissues to take place.  After this time, the nervous system becomes sensitised and there is ongoing perceived threat in both the body and the mind.  This threat leads to a sympathetic dominant state, characterized by pain and increased muscular tension.

A key point to remember is that in chronic pain, the tissues are not damaged 'structurally'.  In the words of David Butler, in chronic pain, "we don't treat anatomy - we treat physiology."  In other words, we must take a whole body systems approach, including addressing:

  • cardio-respiratory system
  • central nervous system
  • peripheral nervous system
  • digestive system
  • endocrine system
  • musculo-sketeal system
  • immune system
