Chronic Pain Relief

Have you been suffering from a persistent, relentless pain that’s hindering your physical abilities? If so, you can find relief through physical therapy treatments.

Pain is a necessary reaction that our bodies have that tells us when something is wrong, and it should be respected. If you accidentally touch a hot stove surface, your immediate reaction will be to pull your hand away because of the pain touching the hot stoved caused. This is a physical reaction to the pain and your brain knows that if your keep your hand there any longer, there will be a possibility of sustaining a serious injury.

However, pain doesn’t always work in the traditional ways. Sometimes pain is due to an underlying condition that you have no control over and can linger for days, weeks, or even months. When pain persists for three months or longer, it is referred to as “chronic pain.” If you have been suffering from chronic pain and you are seeking relief, contact First Colony Aquatic and Rehabilitation Center in Sugar Land & Rosenberg, TX today to schedule an appointment with one of our physical therapists.

How can I relieve my chronic pain?

Many people assume that physical therapy is only used for post-surgical procedures; however, physical therapy can also be used to treat a variety of conditions, including chronic pain. It is true that physical therapy can help decrease scar tissue and shorten the time spent recovering after surgery, but one of the main goals of physical therapy is pain relief – which can be applied to any source of pain, whether it is post-operative or not.

Our Sugar Land & Rosenberg, TX physical therapists are highly-trained movement experts who can diagnose physical problems and any underlying structural causes surrounding or contributing to those problems. We conduct thorough physical evaluations by focusing on places with limited range of motion, analyzing weak areas of the body, and looking for any imbalances in gait or standing. By doing so, we are able to identify the underlying causes of your chronic pain.

Once the physical evaluation is complete, our physical therapist will create an individualized treatment plan based on your specific needs. This will likely include manual therapy to relieve your pain, decrease scar tissue, and improve movement. It may also include targeted exercises to increase strength and stretching to improve your balance. Your treatment plan will incorporate in-clinic treatments, as well as at-home treatments, in order to ensure that you are remaining healthy and active at all times.
