EXPERT KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTANDING

What is Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain is defined as any pain in the human body that lasts longer than three months. Regular pain is a normal sensation that signals us of possible injury, but with chronic pain the persistent pain signals to our brain can remain active for months if not years later. Common side effects of chronic pain can be PTSD, anxiety, depression, frustration and lack of concentration.

Pain Management Resources

Mindfulness and Meditation

Mindfulness and meditation techniques are helpful tools used to relive chronic pain by helping you focus your mind and body in the moment and gain control over your thoughts and judgement.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of talk therapy often used in tandem with other treatments to provide relief by helping to change your relationship with pain, improve your coping strategies and contextualize discomfort.

Psychotherapy & Psychology

Pain isn’t just a physical sensation. It can have impacts on your biological, emotional and psychological wellbeing as well. Our psychologists will collaborate with your other health care providers to address both the physical and emotional aspects of your pain.
