chiropractor for chronic painTo understand what chronic pain is, we first have to understand what pain is. Specific pain receptor sites found beneath the skin, organs and tissues throughout the body detects the pain, discomfort or noxious stimuli and transmits this information via nerves to the spinal cord. When you are sick, injured or have other types of problems, these receptor sites send messages along nerve pathways to the central nervous system which is the brain. Pain medicine reduces or blocks these messages before they reach the brain. Pain can be anything from slightly bothersome to something more excruciating. It can also be acute, meaning new and lasting for a few weeks or months, or chronic, which is when it lasts for more than 3 months.

Chronic pain can be there all the time or it may come and go. It can also happen anywhere in your body. Chronic pain takes a toll on both your physical and mental health and may become more frequent or intense based on various factors in your life.

As a female chiropractor, Dr. Rogini knows the importance of discovering the root cause of your pain and helping you find the best way to treat your symptoms. Let’s discover some of those symptoms and some reasons why you may be experiencing chronic pain.

Reasons for Chronic Pain & Symptoms of Chronic Pain

Unfortunately, chronic pain is a more common ailment than one may think and is something many people suffer with on a daily basis. 

What are the symptoms of chronic pain?

If you are experiencing chronic pain, you may notice the following symptoms:

  • Joint pain
  • Muscle aches
  • Burning pain
  • Fatigue
  • Sleep problems
  • Loss of stamina and flexibility, due to decreased activity
  • Mood problems, including depression, anxiety and irritability

What causes chronic pain?

Everyone will experience occasional aches and pains in their lifetime. It is a part of being human but chronic pain is different. Chronic pain is defined as pain that lasts at least 12 weeks and it may be steady or intermittent, coming and going without any reason. Chronic pain can occur in nearly any part of the body. Some of the most common types of chronic pain include:

  • Headaches
  • Postsurgical pain
  • Post-trauma pain
  • Lower back pain
  • Cancer pain
  • Arthritis pain\Neurological pain (pain caused by nerve damage)
  • Psychogenic pain (pain that isn’t caused by disease, injury or nerve damage)

Chronic pain is usually caused by an initial injury, such as a back sprain or pulled muscle. It’s believed that chronic pain develops after nerves become damaged. The nerve damage makes pain more intense and long lasting. In these cases, treating the underlying injury may not resolve the chronic pain.

In some cases, however, people experience chronic pain without any prior injury. The exact causes of chronic pain without injury aren’t well understood. The pain may sometimes result from an underlying health condition, such as:

  • Chronic fatigue syndrome: characterized by extreme, prolonged weariness that’s often accompanied by pain
  • Fibromyalgia: widespread pain in the bones and muscles
  • Inflammatory bowel disease: a group of conditions that causes painful, chronic inflammation in the digestive tract
  • Interstitial cystitis: a chronic disorder marked by bladder pressure and pain
  • Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ): a condition that causes painful clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
  • Musculoskeletal pain caused by severe postural imbalance and poor spinal hygiene. 

How Chiropractic Can Help With Chronic Pain?

The main goal of chronic pain treatment is to reduce pain and increase mobility. This helps you return to your daily activities without discomfort. As a Vaughan Chiropractor, Dr. Rogini knows the importance of treating the symptoms that you are experiencing to allow you to live a happy and healthy life. Adjustments are an incredible way to help restore proper motion to your body, increase your body’s mobility and maintain spinal alignment. This can help with any chronic pain you’re experiencing. After expressing your concerns to Dr. Rogini, she will assess your current pain levels, medical history and X-Rays to develop a treatment plan that is specifically tailored to you and your needs. At Shakti Chiro we understand that no two people have exactly the same needs and take a whole-person approach to care to guarantee that each treatment plan is specifically designed to address the root cause of your pain in conjunction with correcting any structural imbalances.

Regular adjustments are recommended to properly address chronic pain. Dr. Rogini specializes in both manual and non-manual adjustments. It is important to make sure that you see a chiropractor when you are experiencing symptoms of chronic pain. Over the years, we have noticed that patients who experience chronic pain tend to address their issues much later on and thus this increases the frequency and intensity of the pain. Don’t wait until it’s too late!
