CHRONIC PAIN
Living With Chronic Pain? Physiotherapy Could Change Your Life
Living with chronic pain can make day-to-day tasks difficult. Therefore, it is common to feel pain after an injury or surgery, that pain should subside once you have recovered. Physiotherapy can be a valuable component of managing chronic pain for many individuals. It aims to improve physical function, reduce pain, and enhance overall well-being.
Chronic pain is a complex condition characterized by persistent or recurrent pain. It lasts for an extended period, typically for three to six months or longer. Unlike acute pain, which serves as a warning signal for injury or illness, chronic pain often persists beyond the expected healing time and may not have an apparent cause. It can affect various parts of the body and can have a significant impact on an individual’s physical and emotional well-being.
So, If your pain is not going away, or if you have a chronic condition or disease, certainly you will need a strategy to get out of it as quickly as possible. At Revolve Phisiotherapy, our team will provide the best treatment for chronic pain.
