Because of chronic pain, you may have become inactive which can worsen your pain. If appropriate, we will work with your primary physician to design an exercise program to gradually increase your daily activity. This will keep your muscles stretched and eventually help to reduce your pain. Our treatment plans promote an attitude of wellness. It can also affect your work and your relationship with co-workers.
Improved communication can help reduce or eliminate tension and pain.
We encourage patients to return to work and normal activity when appropriate and feasible. Though pain is a familiar feeling to many of us, it is perhaps one of the most complex problems facing modern medicine. Acute pain usually does not last for a long time and is often a result of an injury or surgery. Rest, along with appropriate medication, most often helps relieve the discomfort of acute pain. However, acute pain sometimes persists even though the injury or the surgery has healed.
