Chronic Pain, which is pain that lasts for more than 3 months, is a type of persistent pain that can have multiple causes or root sources, be episodic or constant, and be mild, moderate or severe in intensity. Chronic Pain is often described as an internal experience and can be throbbing, aching, burning, or a dull feeling, with occasional sharp pain (but this also depends on the cause of the pain and individual factors). Some people may have steady symptoms, while for others it can slowly get worse over time. Unlike acute pain, which is a normal reaction to injury or illness and serves to alert us to a threat to our well-being, Chronic Pain can be a medical condition in its own right.
The most common places for Chronic Pain to occur are the neck, shoulders, mid-back and lower back, hips, and pelvis area. These structures are some of the most important for posture and movement in the body and serve as the core hubs for the majority of all arm and leg movement. Experiencing Chronic Pain in these areas can make it difficult or even impossible to perform many daily activities, resulting in being unable to work, losing out on important life events, missing out on seeing the world, not being able to move or be active due to pain or fear of movement, sleep disturbances, and a lower quality of life. Due to how common and difficult it can be, as well as how complex the causes and contributing factors can be, underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis of Chronic Pain are common.
Chiropractors at Be Fit Chiro Brunswick use a functional approach to pain. We view you as a whole person, not just your pain or the root causes and biomechanical imbalances that might be involved. We are also a team of experienced chiropractors who focus on a personalised approach that helps us meet you where you are and guide you to a better quality of life with sustainable and lasting results.
We offer functional results-focused treatment for Chronic Pain relief as a natural and holistic alternative to mask symptoms or turn to pills as a go-to solution. You’ll find our unique Be Fit Chiro method of delivering Chiropractic treatment for Chronic Pain incorporates manual therapies, pinpoint adjustments, and specialised rehabilitation modalities customised to help you achieve your recovery goals.
The first step to your Be Fit Chiro experience is a comprehensive history and examination to learn more about your unique circumstances. This is also your opportunity to explore your pain experience with your chiropractor on your first visit to Be Fit Chiro Brunswick and get to know each other. We will discuss all of the aspects that might have contributed to your pain, including past and present health conditions, history of old injuries, and your lifestyle, including work, habits, and leisure activities. Your work, home and recreational activities and how you do them are important because they affect your risk of back injury or dysfunction, for example, developing a chiropractic condition or experiencing longer-term pain.
Your health history and current health conditions are part of your story. For example, your Chronic Pain might be due to a previous injury you have suffered, a degenerative disease, or another health condition. It’s vital to explain your health history so we can fully understand your needs, respect them, and incorporate all of the information we need to manage your pain.
Old injuries can also play a role in your current experience (but not always), so we will want to know more about these too. For example, a previous minor injury might now be the source of the pain syndrome you are experiencing. This could be in the context of other injuries in your history or alone. This information can be particularly important if you are looking for specialised treatment for chronic shoulder pain, lower back pain relief, or other neck and shoulder Chronic Pain treatment.
In summary, after a comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms and circumstances, we will apply the right chiropractic treatment modalities and techniques to address the issue you are dealing with, such as biomechanical decompensation. Be Fit Chiro’s range of Chiropractic for Back Pain care includes adjustments, chiropractic massage, manual therapy, and other modalities. These are all customised to your history and current condition and will be chosen to address your problem, help restore spinal motion and alignment, function, and reduce or eliminate pain. To make sure your Chronic Pain is resolved and you experience restorative recovery, we integrate our unique “self-healing vitality paradigm” of conceptual understanding and physical treatment modalities to correct body dysfunctions.
Finally, our pain management program is designed to review natural and alternative treatment options and information for new therapies for Chronic Pain. This information is based on up-to-date best practice guidelines. Patients seeking specialised care can visit our Berwick clinic to access personalised programs.
At Be Fit Chiro Brunswick, we are confident that treating pain requires a holistic and personalised health management approach that targets symptoms and potential or underlying causes. Our Chiropractic care team at Be Fit Chiro Brunswick will be with you every step of the way, whether you are suffering from back pain, need help with posture correction, or require specialised Chiropractic care to address Chronic Pain issues. We’ll help you work towards understanding your experience, building your optimal personalised, holistic plan, and achieving long-term recovery and pain management so you can live your best life.

Common causes of Chronic Pain include:
Chronic Pain management is a comprehensive experience at Be Fit Chiro Brunswick. Our evidence-based Chronic Pain management care includes Physical therapy to support long-term recovery. We assist with a range of conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, nerve pain and low back pain. While the Be Fit Chiro focus is on natural healing and management, we are also mindful that, on occasion, responsible use of prescribed opioid pain medication can be important and helpful. This can include alternatives such as antidepressants or anti-inflammatory medications (always under safe guidelines and following your doctor or pharmacist’s advice). We can recommend online treatment programs or products when they are appropriate and beneficial. We might also include relevant information or research we have found from trusted sources like the NCBI in our treatment plan, or recommend different therapies that will be better or worse depending on the type of pain you are experiencing, based on cost, your doctor’s recommendations, and pharmacy advice.
Individuals with long-term pain.
We help people manage a wide range of pain conditions, including fibromyalgia, persistent or Chronic Pain, and various types of arthritis and pain, even if you are already taking prescription opioids. We can also support pharmacological pain management as indicated. If you have already tried other pain management strategies or seen other practitioners or services about your pain, our chiropractic care model can work with that and will often complement any work or experience you have had in the past. This is the case whether you have been referred to us by a third party, are seeking a pain clinic, want to see what other options can help relieve your pain, like medication, exercise, or other natural and alternative therapies, or are at the start of your pain journey. Personalised access and care for each individual’s journey is the priority.
Your first visit to Be Fit Chiro Brunswick begins when we greet you with a smile and get to know you.

Chronic Pain, Medication & Chiropractic Care:
The commonly held belief is that pain medication is the only way to live a pain-free life, but that’s not true. Medication, while important, is primarily a temporary solution that masks the symptoms without addressing the source. Chiropractic care is a great, restorative, and natural alternative that treats Chronic Pain. This is because it can help correct misalignments or compressions in your body, restoring your nervous system to its normal function and stopping the pain and inflammation signals that have been negatively affecting you.
Chiropractors provide treatment for numerous musculoskeletal conditions which impact both the spinal column and limbs. Patients seek chiropractic treatment for neck pain and back pain affecting both middle and lower regions as well as headaches and migraines. Patients receive assistance for scoliosis treatment and relief from poor posture while chiropractors manage shoulder pain alongside hip pain and knee pain including sciatica and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders as well as dizziness and various sports injuries.
