What is Chronic Pain? 

Chronic pain is pain that persists or recurs for 3 months or longer, typically beyond normal healing time. Chronic pain can be anywhere from mild to severe pain, and is typically experienced on most days. Chronic pain is a common condition, estimated to affect 20% of people worldwide.

Chronic pain is multifactorial, in which a number of different factors including social, biological and psychological may be contributing to your pain.

TESTIMONIALS

“I have suffered from back pain for a very long time. I’ve seen numerous Physio’s but all they seemed to have done was give me a temporary fix without actually explaining my injury. When I finally met Hamid, he was able to explain my issue and fix it. I highly recommend Hamid. Thank you so much. I feel like a new person.”


— Marina Arrighi

“Hamid has successfully treated my chronic knee pain and I am so glad I found him! He goes out of his way to explain the problem and the course of treatment so I feel informed about how and why everything works. He tailored a treatment plan to fit around my lifestyle which was much appreciated. Hamid also works very early in the morning and late at night so that his patients can fit appointments around work, which is great.”
