Why does pain sometimes stick around long after an injury has healed?

Dr. Amy Abelar explains three common reasons pain can become chronic, even when there is no ongoing tissue damage.

You'll learn about:
✔️ Ongoing inflammation and how factors like stress, poor sleep, blood sugar imbalances, and repetitive strain can keep the body irritated
✔️ Nervous system sensitization and why your body's pain alarm system can become overactive over time
✔️ Compensation patterns that develop when other areas of the body take over for an injured or painful area

Dr. Amy also discusses treatment options that may help address chronic pain, including acupuncture, massage therapy, cupping, gua sha, CBD products, and integrative medicine consultations.

At Nurturing Touch, we believe chronic pain is often influenced by multiple factors, which is why a personalized treatment plan can make all the difference.
