How do stress and anxiety affect chronic pain?
Chronic pain is defined as pain that has persisted beyond normal tissue healing time, which is considered to be more than three months.
The odds are that this affects you or someone you know, with at least 1.9 billion people suffering from a form of chronic pain, most commonly associated with low back or neck pain.
While stress is an inevitable part of life, a prolonged exposure to these feelings can influence pain pathways and increase levels of inflammation and widespread pain.
