Chronic pain is pain that persists beyond the expected recovery time for an injury, or that continues without a clear structural cause. It’s defined as pain lasting longer than three months, and it’s far more common than most people realise affecting daily function, sleep, mood, and quality of life in ways that go well beyond the physical sensation itself. Chronic pain often involves changes in how the nervous system processes pain signals (called central sensitisation), which is why a purely physical approach doesn’t always tell the whole story and why being properly listened to and assessed matters as much as the treatment itself.
What to Expect
If pain has been present for more than three months, significantly affecting your daily function, sleep, or mood, it’s worth getting a proper assessment rather than continuing to manage alone. If you’ve been told “nothing is wrong” structurally but pain persists, that’s actually a very common chronic pain presentation and still something we can work with.
