Chronic pain is a complex condition that can have a range of causes. Traumatic chronic pain can be caused by an injury or accident, such as a fall, car accident, or sports injury. Non-traumatic chronic pain can caused by conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and neuropathy. Chronic pain can also be caused by psychological factors such as anxiety, depression, and stress.
Central sensitisation is a term used to describe the process by which the nervous system becomes more sensitive to pain signals over time. This can lead to chronic pain, even in the absence of an injury or medical condition. The nervous system can also become involved in chronic pain, causing changes in how pain signals are transmitted and processed by the brain.
Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug-free approach to managing chronic pain. Chiropractors use a range of techniques to manipulate the spine and other joints in the body, with the aim of reducing pain and improving mobility. Chiropractic care can be particularly effective for chronic pain caused by musculoskeletal issues such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Chiropractic care can play an important role in long-term chronic pain management. By addressing the underlying causes of chronic pain, chiropractors can help patients to achieve lasting relief. Regular chiropractic adjustments can also help to prevent chronic pain from recurring, by promoting good spinal health and reducing the risk of injury.
