Chronic Pain is a complex issue that is never solely biological. In this series we explore chronic pain from the biopsychosocial perspective. The three domains of chronic pain are: biological (e.g., tissue damage, inflammation); psychosocial (e.g., thoughts and emotions affect pain, memories of pain; social/sociological (e.g., socioeconomic, gender, ethnicity, isolation).
