Chronic pain can affect every part of your life. At Chania Physiotherapy Clinic, we offer expert, individualised care to help you reduce pain, improve movement, and regain control of your daily activities.
Chronic pain is pain that lasts longer than 3 to 6 months, even after an injury has healed. Unlike acute pain, which acts as a warning sign of injury, chronic pain may persist without a clear cause and often serves no useful purpose.
Chronic pain can result from poorly healed injuries, surgeries, infections, or conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or neuropathy. In some cases, it appears without an obvious cause due to changes in how the nervous system interprets pain signals.
Yes. Chronic pain is closely linked to our mental state. Stress, anxiety, and depression can intensify pain, while a positive mindset and emotional support can help reduce it. Pain is a complex phenomenon that affects our entire being.
Physiotherapy helps manage chronic pain through personalised programs that may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, acupuncture, and guidance on proper posture and movement. The goal is to improve mobility and overall quality of life.
Not necessarily. While chronic pain isn’t always “curable,” it can be effectively managed. With the right physiotherapy approach, many patients experience significant improvements in function and daily life.
