Chronic Pain Therapists in Barrington, Illinois

Pain is a normal, human experience. Usually, pain acts as an alarm bell, signaling that damage has occurred and that action should be taken to prevent further injury. However, sometimes pain does not go away and becomes a source of distress and suffering. Chronic pain is the long-term (three months or more) experience of pain, where pain persists beyond a normal healing time and is no longer functioning as a helpful warning sign.

If you’re experiencing chronic pain, know that knowledgeable, specialized care by therapists can help address the psychological aspects of chronic pain and improve your quality of life. There are many different approaches to therapy and pain management. Some providers help increase our awareness of – and help change – unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that can worsen the experience of pain. Other providers might focus on mindfulness practices to increase awareness of the sensations of pain without automatically reacting to them as problematic.
