Chronic Pain Syndrome (CPS) is a debilitating condition affecting millions of people worldwide. It’s characterized by persistent pain lasting more than three months and is often accompanied by emotional and psychological challenges such as anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. At Onesource Sports Neuro Rehab, we specialize in providing comprehensive care to help individuals manage and overcome chronic pain.
What Is Chronic Pain Syndrome?
Unlike acute pain, which serves as a warning sign for injury or illness, chronic pain persists long after the initial cause has resolved. It may stem from various underlying conditions, such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or nerve damage, but in many cases, the exact cause remains unclear. This complexity makes CPS challenging to treat and manage effectively without a holistic approach.
Symptoms of Chronic Pain Syndrome
CPS can manifest in a variety of ways, including:
- Persistent pain that ranges from mild to severe.
- Fatigue and reduced energy levels.
- Sleep disturbances due to discomfort.
- Stiffness or decreased mobility.
- Psychological symptoms such as depression, anxiety, or irritability.
- Difficulty concentrating or memory problems, often referred to as “brain fog.”
Causes and Risk Factors
The causes of CPS are multifaceted and can include:
- A previous injury or surgery.
- Neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis or stroke.
- Chronic illnesses like arthritis or diabetes.
- Lifestyle factors, including stress and poor ergonomics.
- Genetic predisposition to pain sensitivity.
Risk factors include a history of trauma, untreated acute pain, and pre-existing mental health conditions.

Q&A: Common Questions About Chronic Pain Syndrome
Q: How is chronic pain syndrome diagnosed?
A: Diagnosis involves a thorough evaluation, including your medical history, a physical exam, and possibly imaging tests. At Onesource Sports Neuro Rehab, we also assess your functional abilities and emotional well-being to create a personalized treatment plan.
Q: Is CPS the same as fibromyalgia?
A: While both conditions involve chronic pain, fibromyalgia specifically causes widespread pain and tenderness, often accompanied by fatigue and sleep issues. CPS is a broader term encompassing pain from various causes.
Q: Can CPS be cured?
A: There is no one-size-fits-all cure for CPS, but many patients find significant relief through comprehensive management, which includes physical therapy, psychological support, and lifestyle adjustments.
Q: How long does treatment take to show results?
A: The timeline varies by individual. Some patients notice improvement within weeks, while others may require months of consistent therapy and adjustments to their care plan.
Q: What role does mental health play in chronic pain management?
A: Mental health is crucial in managing CPS. Conditions like anxiety and depression can amplify pain perception, making a multidisciplinary approach that includes psychological support essential.
Q: Can exercise worsen my chronic pain?
A: Not when guided by a professional. At Onesource Sports Neuro Rehab, our therapists design exercises that are safe and tailored to your specific needs, helping to alleviate pain over time.
