About persistent musculoskeletal pain
Persistent pain lasts longer than three months and often continues after tissues have healed. It involves changes in how the nervous system processes pain, influenced by sleep, stress, activity and past experiences. Effective care combines understanding your pain, gradually building activity and strength, and hands-on treatments that help reduce symptoms.
