Medical professionals usually diagnose chronic pain by asking questions related to duration, location, type of pain, severity, and past medications consumed to treat chronic pain. To further evaluate the origin of your pain, your specialist may recommend to undergo imaging scans, such as a computed tomography (CT) scan, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, or an X-ray. It may also be suggested that you undergo blood and urine tests, spinal fluid tests, and nerve conduction studies to check nerve functionality. Based on the results, your specialist will discuss an appropriate and personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Lifestyle changes play a crucial role in pain management and help enhance your recovery process, which include:

- Improving sleep habits
In the majority of cases, chronic pain manifests as a symptom of an existing condition, such as an injury or illness. However, due to its unpredictable nature, it is challenging to anticipate and therefore prevent. It is necessary to follow your doctor’s advice and also make certain lifestyle changes to minimise chronic pain.
