Understanding Chronic Pain Syndrome
Chronic pain syndrome usually involves pain that has stayed active for longer than expected and is now affecting sleep, energy, confidence, work, and normal activity levels. In many cases the nervous system has become more protective and symptoms can feel out of proportion to day-to-day loading.
Rehabilitation is not about dismissing the pain. It is about understanding how pain sensitivity, stress, pacing, conditioning, and activity avoidance are interacting so function can begin to improve again.
