❓We often get asked why people suffer Chronic Pain❓ But there is no one answer. 🤯

However Dr Shek sums it up below:

“Chronic pain may result from a combination of causes including injury, trauma and surgery. Genetics may also have a role. Quite often, the pain continues long after the original insult is resolved.
Pain does not always indicate underlying damage. Pain may result from central sensitisation. This is abnormal changes to the pain processing pathways in the body. The mechanisms that cause chronic pain are different from the ones that lead to acute pain.
Chronic pain can be exacerbated by stress, depression and anxiety, work and relationship difficulties, inactivity and over-exertion.
Given the complexity of chronic pain, it is important to consult a pain specialist for a thorough assessment, accurate diagnosis, exploration of underlying contributors to pain, and advise regarding interventional options.”
