Persistent Pain

Physical therapy plays a crucial role in managing persistent pain by addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of the condition.

Our physical therapists educate patients about pain management strategies, including proper body mechanics, ergonomic principles, and relaxation techniques. By empowering patients with the knowledge and skills to better manage their pain, our physical therapy helps promote self-efficacy and a sense of control over their condition.

Pain Mechanisms

Pain mechanisms encompass a dynamic interplay between various factors. At the forefront lies the brain, which receives inputs from a multitude of sources including personal experiences, beliefs, knowledge, cultural influences, and societal norms portrayed through media. These inputs are then processed through a complex network involving sensory, cognitive, and affective elements. The brain then generates outputs in the form of pain perception, action programs, and stress regulation.
