What is Chronic Pain?
Chronic Pain is pain that lasts over 3 months. It can be present all the time or come and go, and it can appear anywhere in your body. Chronic Pain can interfere with your daily activities, such as working, maintaining a social life, and caring for yourself or others. It can lead to depression, anxiety, and trouble sleeping, which can make your pain worse, creating a cycle that's hard to break.

Chronic pain is a Neurological Condition.

Pain is processed in the brain, and chronic pain is the result of the brain overprocessing pain. At HQHT, 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 acute pain. Acute pain happens when you get hurt, such as cutting your skin or breaking a bone, and it goes away once your body heals. Chronic pain, on the other hand, continues long after you've recovered from an injury or illness, and sometimes it appears for no apparent reason.

Where do people experience Chronic Pain?
Common types of chronic pain include arthritis and joint pain, back pain, neck pain, cancer pain near a tumor, headaches including migraines, testicular pain (orchialgia), scar tissue pain, muscle pain such as with fibromyalgia, and neurogenic pain caused by damage to the nerves or nervous system.
