July 20th -26th National Pain Week

pain week 2015National Pain Week is upon us and follows the consistent major theme that it is the invisible burden that we don’t want to talk about, often for fear of the consequences. National Pain Week was created in a bid to break the silence and reduce the stigma of chronic pain. There are two main types of pain; chronic pain and acute pain.

Chronic pain is defined as pain that last beyond the time expected for healing following surgery, trauma, or other conditions. It can also exist without a clear reason at all. Acute pain is referred to as pain that lasts for a short time and occurs following trauma or surgery. It acts as a warning to the body to seek help. It is important that you seek treatment from your physiotherapist for acute pain as it can assist in preventing the transition to chronic pain.

If pain is left untreated it can have a significant impact on all aspects of sufferers’ lives. It is proven around 65% of people with chronic pain report interference with daily activities including sleep, work, exercise, and routine self-care, which can have a negative effect on personal relationships, social interactions, and lifestyle.

If you feel you are suffering from pain, don’t suffer the burden – seek help. Our physiotherapists here at Taigum Physiotherapy & Massage Clinic are highly skilled and utilise the most up-to-date treatment methods to combat chronic and acute pain syndrome. Give us a call at the clinic on (07) 3865 6484 and we can start on the road to recovery today.
