Pain is the body’s way of telling us that something is wrong. It might be due to an injury, exposure to an irritant, wear-and-tear, or a chronic health issue.

However, if we have prolonged or repeated exposure to sources of pain, such as joint degradation in arthritis, hormonal imbalances causing men-strual pain, or stress causing migraines, the pain-response cycle changes. We develop long-standing, chronic inflammation. Chronic pain, profoundly impacts our quality of life. It may reduce mobility, lessen our independence, and limit our daily activities.
