Chronic Pain therapists in North York, Ontario ON, Canada CA

Chronic pain is defined as pain that persists for longer than three months or beyond the expected healing time for an injury or condition. Chronic pain can be a complex and debilitating condition that can interfere with daily activities and overall quality of life. There are many different causes of chronic pain, including injuries, arthritis, and conditions such as fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain. Chronic pain can also be a symptom of an underlying medical condition. Treatment for chronic pain typically involves a combination of medications, therapies, and self-management techniques. Medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, and antidepressants, can help reduce pain and improve function. Therapies, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), can also be helpful in managing chronic pain. Self-management techniques, such as relaxation techniques and exercise, can also be helpful in managing chronic pain.  

The psychology of chronic illness involves feeling helpless, victimized and powerless in our relationships. It involves people pleasing and being very dependent or living at the mercy of others. Healing chronic illness is centres around healing the control and power struggle in the relationships in childhood, specifically with a parent who had anger issues where you feared and lived your childhood tip toeing around their emotional tempers. This has perhaps translated into your adult life where you control others, get angry at others often, put others on a pedastol and feel powerless in some areas of your life. Healing your fears of feeling attacked and balancing the power in your relationships and releasing control are key to healing chronic illness.
