Chronic Pain Treatment

What is Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain is pain that persists for more than 3 months, often continuing even after the initial injury or condition has healed. It can affect any part of your body and may feel different from the original pain that started it.

Chronic pain involves changes in how your nervous system processes pain signals, which is why traditional treatments don't always work. Physical therapy that addresses both the physical and neurological aspects of pain can be highly effective.

Symptoms & Treatment

Common symptoms include: Persistent pain that may vary in intensity, pain that spreads or moves to different areas, increased sensitivity to touch or movement, fatigue and sleep disturbances, and reduced ability to perform daily activities or work.

Our treatment approach: We take a comprehensive approach that includes graded exercise to rebuild your tolerance to movement, manual therapy, pain neuroscience education to help you understand what's happening in your body, and techniques like pacing and mindfulness. We focus on what you can do rather than what you can't, gradually expanding your activities in a safe, structured way. While chronic pain management is a journey rather than a quick fix, most patients see meaningful improvements in function and quality of life within 8-12 weeks, with continued progress over time.
