How can I find treatment of Different Forms Of Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain is defined as an ache that continues for more than six months. You can experience this pain even after the injury or sickness that caused it has healed or gone away. Pain signals can last for weeks, months, or even years in your nervous system.
There are two primary forms of chronic pain, including neuropathic pain and nociceptive pain. 

Neuropathic pain is a type of pain triggered by nerve injury or malfunction. In comparison, the pain caused by damage to some other body part than the nerves is referred to as nociceptive pain. In chronic pain, nociceptors may continue to generate pain signals even after the original injury has healed. You may be experiencing chronic nociceptive pain due to damage caused to the outer or inner parts of your body.
