- Back pain lasting more than 3 months is considered chronic.
- Chronic pain is often not just one pinpointed location and often has a multitude of components like mental, and psychological responses as well as habits and movement patterns.
- Without addressing or at least acknowledging other stressors in your life it may be hard to truly relieve yourself of this pain.
- Physical therapy can work on exercises to address the physical causes of your pain, improve the ergonomics of your movements to put less stress on your body, as work on breathing and relaxation techniques to prevent stress from causing pain.
- In addition to exercise, research is in support of us utilizing joint mobilizations and sort tissue mobilization in conjunction with exercise interventions to improve the pain your feeling and to help be able to move and function better.
- At this clinic we also offer modalities like dry needling and laser therapy which can help with lingering muscular discomfort. The evidence is still emerging, but many patients have found adding a few treatments to be a beneficial supplement to therapy.
- If you’re ready to take control of your pain, give us a call! We would love to help you live your life the way you want to! If you live in the Clermont and or Ocoee area we’re here to help you! Scheudle thru our online portal to get started.
