General aches and pains

Pain doesn’t just affect your body, it impacts your mood, sleep, relationships, motivation, and concentration. It can make you feel like you’re not yourself. The people around you may not realise how much you’re struggling until you snap. You aren’t who you want to be, and that’s frustrating.

​

Some aches and pains have a straightforward cause: long hours at a desk, overtraining without enough rest, or poor nutrition. But sometimes, pain lingers for no clear reason, making even simple tasks feel difficult.

​

What Causes Persistent Aches & Pains?

In rare cases, widespread aches and stiffness can be a sign of an underlying condition. Chiropractors are trained to identify when something more serious might be at play and can refer you for further investigation if needed.

For many people, however, persistent pain comes from a heightened nervous system response. Your nervous system is designed to protect you by sensing threats in your environment, but sometimes it becomes overactive, making pain feel worse than it should. Stress, poor sleep, anxiety, and fear about pain can all amplify this response, keeping you stuck in a cycle of discomfort.
