Reducing Pain
Relieving pain is often a top priority for patients who seek medical care. At Providence Physical Therapy we understand that living with pain affects all aspects of your well-being. Your pain may be new, perhaps due to a recent injury, surgery, change in activity, or no apparent reason at all. We call this acute pain. Others have lived with pain for many months and even years. This is called chronic pain. It may seem difficult and confusing to find the best solution and patients often feel their treatment options are ineffective, addictive, or even dangerous.
You don’t have to walk through this alone. Providence Physical Therapy can help you understand your body and your options. During our thorough evaluation we seek to understand the factors that are causing your painful experience, and provide the right treatment for your situation.
While surgeries, injections, and medications are sometimes helpful, they do not completely address the underlying sources of your pain. Emerging sciences have shown that pain impacts more than just your injured area. It can alter your chemical balance, brain and nervous system, movement patterns, thoughts and social life. Recognizing and addressing these factors can empower you to restore your health and reduce the impact of your pain.
If you are living with pain call Providence Physical Therapy and let us partner with you to understand your body, restore healthy movement and function, and develop a safe and effective treatment plan.
