Understanding Chronic Pain & Its Management
Chronic pain can be defined as pain that lasts longer than three months, persisting beyond the expected healing time. This type of pain can be caused by various conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or nerve damage. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in managing chronic pain, offering long-term relief without the sole reliance on medication.
What Your Chronic Pain Treatment at Centennial Includes
Your treatment begins with a detailed evaluation to understand the root cause of your pain and how it is affecting your daily life. From there, your therapist creates an individualized plan that may include:
- Manual therapy and hands-on soft tissue work to reduce tension and improve mobility
- Therapeutic exercises targeting strength, flexibility, and movement patterns contributing to pain
- Deep tissue massage to address chronic muscle tension and restricted tissue
- Hot and cold therapy and electrical stimulation for pain relief and inflammation management
- Education on movement mechanics and daily activity modifications to protect painful areas
- Progressive home exercise programs to maintain progress between sessions
