What Is Chronic Pain?

Everyone understands how pain feels but just when does an initial episode of pain become a chronic issue? Why do some people experience pain for sustained periods of time whilst others do not? What are the physiological mechanisms that cause chronic pain, and is that different to acute pain? These are questions we look to answer in this episode of the Back Pain Solutions podcast. 

In this episode we introduce chronic pain and how we approach the management of chronic pain, with a particular focus on chronic low back pain.  We highlight how some people seem to accept that low grade, chronic pain, is something they just have to live with. We discuss how individuals should work to identify the pain triggers that are contributing to their pain, and how removing these triggers will help to alleviate discomfort by allowing the healing process to occur. As we have discussed in the past, back pain always has a cause, and so understanding how to remove that cause will help you to remove the pain!
