Pain is your body's way of warning you that something may be wrong. Pain can affect your emotions as well as your body. When pain lasts longer than 3 months, it is called chronic pain.
There are many treatment options for chronic pain. They include exercise, behavioural therapy, physiotherapy, medicines, and complementary therapies such as acupuncture and massage.
