IntroductionPhysiotherapy in Toronto for Pelvic RehabilitationWelcome to In Balance Physiotherapy's resource on chronic pain. Chronic pain is generally classified as pain that lasts for longer than 6 months [1]. While there are many possible causes, one is thought to be due to problems with some of the receptors found throughout the body that receive and transmit information from your five senses to your brain. Alternately there may be a problem with how the receptors of the central brain and nervous system interpret the information they receive [2]. Common complaints include joint pain from arthritis, headache, low back pain or pain associated with cancer. There is also the chronic pain that seems to have no real cause but is just as severe and debilitating as pain with a known cause.
