Chronic Pain Management

Chronic pain management through physical therapy offers a comprehensive approach to treating persistent pain conditions that can significantly impact a person’s daily life. Chronic pelvic pain, for example, may stem from conditions like vulvodynia, interstitial cystitis, or pudendal neuralgia, and requires a holistic treatment plan that addresses both physical and emotional factors. Physical therapists use manual techniques such as myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and relaxation exercises to relieve pain and tension in the affected areas.

In addition to hands-on therapy, chronic pain management involves strengthening and stretching exercises to improve posture, core stability, and muscle function. Patients are educated on lifestyle modifications, posture correction, and relaxation techniques that help them manage flare-ups and reduce the psychological impact of chronic pain. A comprehensive pain management plan empowers individuals to take control of their health, improve their quality of life, and achieve long-term pain relief.
