What is Chronic Pain?
Whenever you are unwell or injured, pain is a normal response of body. Pain in any part actually lets you know that there is a problem there. As soon as you are well, the pain disappears. However, if your pain is lasting for 3 to 6 months or more, this is chronic pain and must not be neglected.
Chronic pain is just not physical but gives rise to emotional distress as well. Physical therapy is ideal for treating chronic pain. It is totally safe, non-invasive and lets you get off continuous medication by finding out the root-cause of the pain and treating it.
