Chronic pain is a broad term, but it is used frequently by medical practitioners and in news reports to define a long-lasting, limiting pain. Often, this type of pain is in absence of a recent or even ongoing injury – it may be pain that lasts for years after an inciting incident. We at Invictus understand pain to be multimodal, requiring more than just pain medication and heat packs to provide effective treatment. Factors such as diet, exercise, sleep, or even stress can impact your long-lasting symptoms. We will help you examine the different factors in your life to assess what may be contributing to your pain, and make a plan of action to address them!
