Chronic Pain

What is Persistent Pain?

Persistent pain is pain that lingers for more than 12 weeks, or continues long after the expected healing time of an injury. Unlike acute pain, which has a clear starting point, chronic pain can be more complex and influenced by a range of factors.

It may feel like:

• A sharp, localised pain in one area

• A widespread, dull ache or stiffness

• Constant discomfort, or pain that flares up intermittently

Chronic pain is often linked to conditions such as fibromyalgia, migraines, or chronic pain syndrome.

​

Why Pain Persists

Pain can continue for many reasons, including:

• Co-existing health conditions

• Poor sleep or fatigue

• Stress and lifestyle factors

• Your body’s sensitivity to pain signals

• Thoughts, emotions, and beliefs about the pain itself

That’s why chronic pain requires a comprehensive and personalised approach.
