Chronic pain

Chronic pain is pain that lasts longer than 6 weeks. The pain persists even though there is no longer a direct relationship with the original injury, or there is pain for a long time without a cause. In chronic pain we speak of sensitization. Your brain then sends the wrong signal to your body for a long time, causing you to experience pain. Pain that we often do not understand.

The pain system in your body is adjusted too sharply, resulting in: 

  • There is pain even though the body has long recovered

  • Pain occurs in several places in the body

  • The pain varies from day to day

  • Bad sleeping

  • Fatigue

  • Hypersensitivity

  • Treatment provides no or temporary relief

Common diagnoses:

  • Back problems

  • Headache

  • Whiplash

  • Fibromyalgia

  • Arthrosis

  • Arthritis
