We want you to live your best life!

What is chronic pain?

Chronic pain is pain that lasts over 3 months. The pain can be there all the time, or it may come and go. Chronic pain can appear anywhere in your body. 

Chronic pain can interfere with your daily actities, such as working, having a social life and taking care of yourself or others. It can lead to depression, anxiety and trouble sleeping, which can make your pain worse. This response creates a cycle that's hard to break.

Pain is processed in the brain. Chronic pain is the result of the brain overprocessing pain, and is therefore a neurological condition. At High Quality Home Therapy in Stamford, CT and Rye, NY we provide therapy services to patients experiencing chronic pain in our outpatient clinic and in homes throughout Connecticut and New York.

What's the difference between chronic pain and other pain?

Chronic pain differs from another type of pain called acute pain. Acute pain happens when you get hurt, such as cutting your skin or breaking a bone. It doesn't last long and goes away when your body heals itself. Chonic pain, on the other hand, continues long after you recover from an injury or illness. Sometimes it comes on for no apparent reason.
