What is Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain is pain that persists for longer than three months. It is pain that continues beyond the normal healing time for an injury. The causes vary from patient to patient. In some, there is a clear, ongoing physical trigger. However in others even after the injury that brought on the chronic pain has been treated, the body remains sensitised.

Any part of the body can become the site for persistent pain. The most common problem areas are the back, (upper or lower), the neck, the head (persistent headache) or a limb.
