Understanding Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is pain that lasts for more than three months, often continuing long after an initial injury has healed. It can affect every aspect of your life—from your ability to work and enjoy hobbies, to your sleep and overall mood.
What Causes Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain often develops when:
- Old injuries haven't healed properly, leading to scar tissue
- Joints, muscles, or ligaments have been damaged
- Nerves are compressed or irritated
- Inflammation persists in tissues
- Wear and tear from aging or overuse occurs
Common Sources of Chronic Pain
- Previous injuries from car accidents, sports, or workplace incidents
- Post-surgical complications that didn't heal as expected
- Repetitive strain from daily activities or work
- Degenerative conditions like arthritis
- Nerve problems causing radiating pain

Common Questions About Chronic Pain Treatment
How long will it take to feel better?
Every person is different, but many patients notice improvement within the first few visits. Chronic pain that has developed over months or years typically requires consistent treatment over several weeks to achieve lasting relief. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your initial assessment.
Is chiropractic treatment safe for chronic pain?
Yes. We use gentle, low-force techniques specifically designed for patients with chronic pain. Our Activator Method is particularly well-suited for sensitive conditions. We always conduct a thorough assessment first and only treat when it's safe and appropriate.
Will my insurance cover treatment?
Most insurance plans include chiropractic coverage, and we offer direct billing to make the process easier for you. We also provide reduced rates for seniors, students, and children. Contact us to discuss your specific coverage.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit includes a detailed discussion about your pain history, a comprehensive examination, and an explanation of our findings. If we determine we can help you, we'll discuss a treatment plan. Some patients receive gentle treatment on their first visit, while others may need diagnostic imaging first.
Do you work with other healthcare providers?
Absolutely. We believe in collaborative care and regularly coordinate with family doctors, specialists, physiotherapists, and other healthcare providers to ensure you receive comprehensive treatment.
Not Sure If We Can Help?
During your initial consultation, we'll thoroughly assess your condition and give you an honest answer about whether chiropractic care is right for you. If we're not the best option, we'll point you in the right direction.
