Abstract
Chronic pain is a growing problem with little obvious explanation for its increasing prevalence. Traditional medical approaches including pain-killing medications have been largely unsuccessful and potentially counterproductive in stemming this growth over the long term. Hence, a more holistic approach incorporating aspects of lifestyle and psychology has begun to be used in pain clinics and primary care, with an expanding role for the lifestyle medicine practitioner.
