What Causes Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain can stem from a variety of sources, including:

• Injury or Trauma: Lingering effects from car accidents, sports injuries, or falls.

• Degenerative Conditions: Arthritis, degenerative disc disease, or other joint disorders.

• Nerve Damage: Conditions such as neuropathy or sciatica.

• Chronic Illnesses: Fibromyalgia, autoimmune diseases, and more.

• Post-Surgical Pain: Pain that persists beyond the normal healing period.
  
  

Sometimes, the exact cause isn’t immediately clear, making a thorough evaluation essential.

The Physical and Emotional Impact of Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is more than a physical issue - it affects mental and emotional well-being. Physically, it can limit mobility, reduce strength, and interfere with normal activities. Emotionally, it often contributes to stress, anxiety, depression, and poor sleep quality. Over time, this can create a cycle where pain leads to emotional distress, which in turn amplifies the perception of pain.

The Importance of Proper Diagnosis

Because chronic pain has many potential causes, treating it effectively starts with finding the root of the problem. Dr. Thomas uses a comprehensive approach to diagnosis, which may include:

• Detailed Medical History: Understanding past injuries, lifestyle factors, and previous treatments.

• Physical Examination: Evaluating posture, range of motion, muscle tone, and joint health.

• Advanced Imaging: X-rays, MRIs, or other diagnostic tools to identify structural issues.

• Functional Assessments: Testing movement patterns and strength to find underlying imbalances.
  
  

A correct diagnosis allows us to target the source of the pain rather than simply masking symptoms.

Why Early Treatment Is Crucial

Delaying treatment for chronic pain can lead to worsening symptoms, increased risk of secondary conditions (such as muscle atrophy or joint degeneration), and a greater emotional toll. Early intervention helps:

• Prevent further damage to joints, muscles, and nerves.

• Reduce the risk of developing chronic stress or depression linked to ongoing pain.

• Improve overall function and independence sooner.
