Understanding Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is defined as pain lasting longer than three months, often persisting despite treatment. Common conditions include:
- Arthritis: Joint inflammation causing pain and stiffness
- Fibromyalgia: Widespread muscle pain and tenderness
- Migraines: Recurring, severe headaches often accompanied by other symptoms
- Back Pain: Persistent discomfort in the lower or upper back
- Neuropathy: Nerve pain caused by conditions like diabetes or injury
Massage therapy addresses these issues by improving circulation, reducing tension, and promoting relaxation.
