Therapy for Chronic Pain

What makes pain "chronic"? 

• Pain that has been ongoing for more than 3 months

• Chronic pain may occur following a specific injury, or may have progressed gradually over time

More than a pain in the ....  Chronic pain impacts:

• Sleep

• Motivation & Energy

• Mood (feeling down, irritable, anxious)

• Relationships (with your significant other, children, family, and friends)

Have you been told that…

• The pain is in your head?

• You need to “learn to live” with it?

Do you feel like…

• Your pain is calling the shots?

• You will never get a good night’s sleep?

• You cannot engage in physical activities?

Are you ready to…

• Improve your quality of life?

• Re-engage with family and friends?

• Improve sleep and mood?

How does therapy for chronic pain work?

While there is not a cure for chronic pain, there are ways to learn to manage and cope with it. Cognitive behavioral therapy for chronic pain (CBT-CP), acceptance and commitment therapy, and skills-based therapy focusing on chronic pain management can help put you back in the driver’s seat.
