Chronic pain

1 in 5 Canadians report suffering from chronic pain. You are not alone!

Chronic pain persists for more than 3 to 6 months, beyond the normal period of physiological or anatomical healing. It often appears disproportionate to tissue damage and is not fully explained by it. Additionally, chronic pain typically shows a poor response to medications.

While chronic pain may start from an event or injury, it can become complex with persistent psychological and social dimensions even after physical healing. There is no specific treatment to completely eliminate chronic pain, but a multidimensional management approach helps patients regain a normal daily life.
