Chronic
Pain
Chronic pain is pain that
has been experienced for more than 6 months. Chronic pain
can cause muscles to contract, contributing to soreness and
stiffness. If you do not do something about the chronic pain,
chances are it will get worse. According to the American
Pain Society, 56% of those suffering with chronic pain have been
suffering for more than five years.
The most common types of chronic
pain include back pain, tension headaches, abdominal pain,
shoulder pain and neck pain. Chronic pain can not only
hurt, it can interfere with the normal function of glandular,
digestive, eliminative, nervous and circulatory systems.
While many people with chronic
pain look to medications to mask the pain, there are many common
risks and side effects associated with taking medication.
Chiropractic targets the cause of the chronic pain instead of
masking the symptoms. After looking into the cause, gentle
chiropractic manipulation has been shown to be effective in
correcting the problems.
