Musculoskeletal & Pain
Chronic Pain Syndrome
Pain that has outlasted the injury and taken on a life of its own.
What is Chronic Pain Syndrome?
Sometimes pain persists long after tissue has healed, because the nervous system itself has become sensitised — amplifying signals that would normally fade. This can follow an injury, surgery or illness, and it often comes with fatigue, poor sleep and a sense that pain has spread beyond where it started. It's a genuine physiological state, not something imagined or exaggerated.
How regenerative medicine supports it
We take a detailed history to distinguish ongoing tissue damage from a sensitised pain system, since the two need very different approaches. Our support typically combines NAD IV therapy and ozone therapy for general inflammatory and nervous system support alongside close coordination with pain specialists and physiotherapists, reviewing function and sleep quality regularly. We're honest that regenerative therapies address contributing inflammation but don't retrain a sensitised nervous system on their own — that usually needs a broader pain programme too.

Chronic Pain Syndrome — Questions Patients Ask
Does this mean my pain isn't real?
No, quite the opposite — chronic pain syndrome reflects real changes in how your nervous system processes signals. We take it seriously as a physical condition, not a psychological one.
Can you fix this with an IV drip?
IV therapies can help with inflammation and general wellbeing, but retraining a sensitised pain system usually needs a combined approach including pain psychology and graded activity, which we'll help you access.
How is this different from fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is one specific, well-defined form of chronic widespread pain with its own diagnostic criteria; chronic pain syndrome is a broader term that can follow any injury or illness. We assess which pattern fits before planning.
Will you prescribe strong painkillers?
We don't run a pain medication clinic, and for anyone on long-term opioids we'd coordinate closely with your prescribing doctor rather than add to it independently.
What result should I realistically expect?
Most people aim for reduced intensity and better function rather than complete pain elimination, and we set expectations that way from the start.
