No matter what part of your body hurts, the pain you feel is a warning that something is wrong and needs attention. If you develop a single chronic condition, such as migraine headaches or lower back pain from an injury, you may get relief from conventional treatments. But some people are more sensitive to pain, have multiple and more debilitating chronic pain conditions, or may require different types of treatment.
Below are some of the most chronic pain conditions, and how you might want to treat them.
