Chronic Pain
Create Balance From The Inside Out
Chronic pain is usually defined as pain that persists beyond the normal time that tissues take to heal following an injury. Most soft tissue injuries heal up within weeks, although some can take several months to completely heal. If a pain continues longer than 3-6 months, it is usually described by pain specialists as “chronic” or persistent pain.
Benefits of Physiotherapy
The causes of chronic pain are not always clear but in some conditions the pain is thought to be due to the pain signals through the nerve fibres becoming confused. The brain is then unable to understand the signals properly
We believe in multidisciplinary approach to pain management. Our physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, trainers and pain management therapists work together closely. As first contact practitioners, a doctor’s referral is not necessary to see a physiotherapist. However we also work very closely with GPs and leading pain specialists if you need medication or further interventions.
