What Causes Chronic Pain?

Many factors contribute to chronic pain but it can be treated!

Chronic pain is defined as pain that lasts for three months or more. Although it is not always easy to identify the people that will experience chronic pain, there are some conditions that are more common than others.

Some of the most common conditions include:

There are also typical situations that lead to chronic pain that may help chiropractors, acupuncturists, naturopathic doctors, and massage therapists get to the root of the problem and offer effective solutions.

Contributing Factors To Chronic Pain Include:

MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS & MULTIPLE INJURIES

The brutal nature of a car accident can leave people with various injuries that require many types of treatment to recover from. Whiplash is one of the most common multi-factorial injuries sustained in a car accident. If you’ve been in a car accident seek treatment immediately at our clinic!

When your head and neck are forcefully jerked forward and back (or side to side) from the sudden impact of a car accident, the soft tissue of the neck joints can be physically traumatized. These injuries can involve muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, nerves, and disc tissue between multiple locations in the spine. In addition, research has shown the high prevalence of sustaining a concussion with any whiplash injury.

Initially after the accident you may feel relatively ok with minor injuries. However, the nature of the motor vehicle accident (MVA) results in a slow onset of symptoms that take weeks to set in before you feel the full effect of the car accident.

In the weeks following a car accident, victims may experience widespread chronic pain. Piecing together all the potential injuries can be tricky, and it is often necessary to get the help of a physiotherapist to avoid and/or resolve all the injuries you sustained from a single event.

No matter how minor the car accident it is always advised to seek treatment as soon as possible to stop the progression and worsening of symptoms that will set in in the coming weeks. If you’ve been in a motor vehicle accident call us today and get the treatment you need now!

Chronic pain can result from any workplace accident or injury. The research has shown that the longer a worker is out of work the less likely they will ever return. The mental toll of dealing with the injury, the impact on your financial well-being, the expectations from the employer and dealing with the insurance companies can make things feel overwhelming.

Improper nutrition, mainly processed foods and foods with high sugar content will increase the likelihood of systemic inflammation. This inflammation is will have negative effects to all the tissues in the body and is linked to increased pain levels and more prolonged lasting pain.

A sedentary lifestyle leads to restrictions and medical conditions associated with chronic pain conditions. Combined with smoking and alcohol consumption, you are at a greater risk of persistent pain.

It is also possible for prolonged postures and repetitive activities with improper body mechanics to develop chronic inflammation and pain as you are more likely to injure your joints and muscles.

When one part of your body is injured or painful, your body will naturally use muscles and joints around the injury site to support and take over responsibility for a particular activity. These compensatory patterns can strain other parts of the body because your muscles or joints are not functioning correctly.

In the short term, these compensations are valuable for staying active. When they continue for extended periods, you are more likely to develop painful patterns that can become chronically painful.

Diseases such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, shingles, and diabetic neuropathy can all cause chronic pain. The exact mechanisms are not easy to understand or identify but likely involve neurological dysfunction.

There are many factors in chronic pain and this is a very short list, however, these are the most common and drugs may not be necessary to successfully treat it. If you have chronic pain we encourage you to book an appointment with our chiropractic doctor or physiotherapist to discover the cause and begin treatment right away!
