Chronic pain can be described as pain that lasts long enough, or is intense enough, to affect a person's normal activities and well being. It may continue over a long period of time or come and go. Any area of the body can be affected.

Chronic Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience that starts with an injury or illness. The incoming pain signals trigger specialized nerve cells in your brain to tell your muscles how to respond.
