Understanding Chronic Pain

Chronic pain—pain lasting more than three months—affects approximately 1 in 5 Canadian adults. It can result from injuries, conditions like fibromyalgia or arthritis, or have no clear cause.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is massage therapy covered by insurance for chronic pain?
Most extended health benefits in Canada cover registered massage therapy (RMT). Coverage amounts vary by plan, typically ranging from $300-$1000 annually. Some plans require a doctor's note, so check your specific coverage.
How often should I see a practitioner for chronic pain?
This varies based on condition and treatment type. Initially, more frequent visits (1-2x/week) may be recommended, then tapering to maintenance visits. A good practitioner will create a treatment plan with clear goals and expected timeline.
Should I see multiple types of practitioners?
Many chronic pain patients benefit from an integrative team approach. For example, combining massage for muscle tension, acupuncture for pain modulation, and physiotherapy for strengthening. Your practitioners should communicate and coordinate care.
