The 3 Most Common Reasons Pain Becomes Chronic

1. Movement Dysfunction

When certain joints don’t move well, other areas overwork to compensate.
That creates tension, irritation, and eventually pain.

Common examples:

• Stiff mid-back → neck tightness

• Weak glutes → chronic low back pain

• Limited ankle mobility → knee pain

2. Muscular Imbalance

Tight muscles, weak stabilizers, and poor recruitment patterns create a cycle of irritation.

This is why chiropractic care must include:
Soft tissue therapy
Corrective exercises
Progressive loading
—not just adjustments.

3. Inflammation & Lifestyle Stressors

Sitting all day, poor sleep, stress, and high-inflammatory diets amplify every pain signal.

At Function Chiropractic, we help fix the whole system — not just the symptom.
