 common myths about pain

PAIN - Myths

Myth 01.

Pain is a natural side effect of aging

Pain can sometimes come with age, but normal wear and tear is different from chronic pain. Chronic pain can affect any age group, and can vary with age.

Myth 02.

It’s better to tough it out and just live with the pain

Never tough out your pain. From pet therapy to meditation to classic drug treatments, there is a treatment available for everyone.

Myth 03.

Chronic pain can kill you

Chronic pain can’t kill you, but it can severely impact the quality of your life. Seeking professional help before despair sets in is critical.

Myth 04.

You can injure yourself further if you exercise when in pain

Exercise doesn’t just have physical benefits. It can also boost your mood, lower anxiety and treat depression. Light to moderate exercise can reduce stress and improve blood and oxygen flow to your muscles.
