Pain Management
Optimal Pain Management in High Point
Physical therapy can take on a wide variety of descriptions, many of which include daily exercises on floor mats or gym machines that move and work joints and muscles. While these certainly play a vital part in the overall healing process, we believe it’s manual or hands-on therapy that has shown to be the most valuable method to begin a comprehensive physical therapy program with. The use of expertly trained hands, instead of machines, to mobilize muscle tissue and joints has proven time and again to relieve acute and chronic pain, which allows for better tolerance of specialized mat and machine exercises. Essentially, the process of manual physical therapy helps to realign postural mechanics and reduce biomechanical dysfunctions for more efficient mobility with less pain. This will naturally result in a boost in mental and emotional well-being and ultimately a heightened chance for success of the complete physical therapy program.
Pain can be the result of a myriad of issues. It’s easily the most common symptom of physical injuries, including overuse of muscles, straining of tendons, sprains, etc. Pain can also originate from seemingly unclear sources, such as chronic headaches, neck pain or referred pain. Referred pain is the most challenging of these in that the true source causing the pain can be a surprising distance from the actual painful area. Pain can also be inconsistent, plaguing us for days at a time, then taking some time off, only to return with a vengeance. The worst, of course, is pain that doesn’t go away, never gives you a break, but is chronic and, at times, debilitating.
Depending on the cause and type of pain, it may be a real challenge to find total relief. At Hands-On Health Massage & Physical Therapy, we determinedly face that challenge by working within a Pain Management program specially designed to pinpoint the pain source and treat it in a healthy, non-invasive way. The end goal is to improve your quality of life and ability to function, like doing daily tasks, enjoying your usual activities, working, or attending school. Our experts will work closely with you, and your healthcare provider if need be, to create a Pain Management plan that fits your particular needs
