Therapy For Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is defined as pain that is present for more than 6 months and extends beyond the expected healing time of an injury.  Symptoms may vary from mild to severe and often limit an individual’s ability to complete daily activities. Research shows that the underlying cause of these symptoms is due to an over-sensitization of the central nervous system.
