Chronic Pain Management 

Chronic pain is ongoing or recurring discomfort that persists beyond expected healing time and often affects daily functioning, mood, and energy. Many people experience chronic pain without a clear resolution, even after addressing acute injuries or conditions. While conventional care may focus on symptom relief, holistic and integrative approaches often support the body by addressing nervous system regulation, inflammation, stress patterns, and overall resilience. This page explores non-diagnostic support options for managing chronic pain.
