What It Is and Why It Happens
Chronic pain is pain that persists beyond normal healing time — usually more than three months — and it behaves differently from acute pain. The nervous system becomes more sensitive, so pain is no longer a reliable signal of tissue damage, and the strategies that worked early (rest, avoidance, passive treatment alone) tend to make things worse over time.
Effective chronic pain care combines understanding how pain works, graded movement and strength that the nervous system can tolerate, hands-on treatment for flare-ups, and pacing strategies for work and daily life. It is a program, not a single technique, and it is what our multidisciplinary team is set up to deliver.
Persistent Pain Conditions We Treat
Our physiotherapists at Cityscape Square NE assess and treat:
- Chronic low back and neck pain

- Osteoarthritis pain in multiple joints
- Persistent pain after a car accident or work injury
- Long-standing headaches and TMJ pain
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Pain that has not resolved after surgery
- Widespread pain with fatigue and poor sleep
How We Treat Chronic Pain
The first visit is longer, because the story matters. We map what flares and what settles your pain, what you have tried, and what you want back. The plan then combines pain education, a graded exercise and strengthening program with realistic weekly targets, manual therapy, massage and acupuncture to manage flares and improve sleep, and pacing and workplace strategies. Progress is measured in function — sitting tolerance, walking distance, hours worked — not only pain scores.
