Chronic Pain

At our Raynham, MA clinic

Chronic Pain is treated non-surgically at Regenerative Medicine of Raynham in Raynham, MA, using regenerative therapies matched to the underlying cause. Pain lasting 3+ months — a regenerative-first, whole-person approach. Every plan begins with a hands-on evaluation and imaging review with Dr. Brian Petrie, DC. Call (774) 409-5055 to see if you're a candidate.

Pain lasting 3+ months — a regenerative-first, whole-person approach.

Chronic pain is pain that persists beyond normal tissue-healing time — typically 3 months or more. It usually involves a mix of tissue-level drivers (arthritis, tendinopathy, disc issues) and a nervous system that has become sensitized. Effective chronic-pain care addresses both, not just one.

Understanding chronic pain

Pain that outlasts tissue healing is rarely just about the tissue.

Chronic pain is defined as pain that persists beyond the normal healing window — typically three months or longer. It can start with an injury, surgery, arthritis, or a metabolic issue, but over time the nervous system itself can become sensitized, amplifying pain signals even after the original tissue has healed. That is why chronic pain often feels widespread, unpredictable, and resistant to medication alone. At Regenerative Medicine of Raynham, we evaluate the whole picture: the joints, tendons, and soft tissues that may still be driving the pain, plus the metabolic and neurological factors that can keep the pain cycle alive. We then combine regenerative therapies, targeted rehab, lab-guided nutrition, and IV metabolic support to address both the source and the sensitivity.
