The Origins of Pain Problems
The cause of acute pain may be clear enough, especially if it accompanies an auto accident injury, work injury, infection, operation or other event. As the affected part of your body heals, the pain generally fades away. But this is not necessarily the case with some forms of pain. Chronic pain may linger for months or years with no obvious cause in sight. This pain may be due to:- Areas of internal scar tissue buildup that restrict neighboring muscles and connective tissues (adhesions)
- Extended disuse after a lengthy recovery period (such as frozen shoulder after many weeks with your arm in a sling)
- Degenerative joint conditions such as osteoarthritis, which produce chronic pain and inflammation
- Muscle weakness, knots or spasms related to poor posture or an unbalanced body
- Chronic pain syndromes such as fibromyalgia, which may affect both nerves and muscles
- Chronic overuse injuries such as tendonitis, plantar fasciitis or carpal tunnel syndrome
Natural Treatment From Our Physical Therapist
Our physical therapists can succeed where painkilling drugs fail. Once we understand the actual origin point of your pain, we can prescribe a physical therapy regimen aimed at correcting (or at least reducing) that functional abnormality. Our physical therapists may start by addressing your immediate discomfort with passive physical therapy techniques. These natural treatment techniques can include any combination of:- Deep tissue massage to break an adhesions grip on your internal tissues
- Heat or cold applications to reduce swelling and inflammation
- Electrical muscle stimulation, which uses tiny amounts of current to stimulate your body’s natural painkillers (endorphins)
- Leg Compression Therapy
- Taping
How effective is physical therapy as a drug-free natural pain solution? The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) states that non-pharmaceutical pain treatment is to be preferred over pharmaceuticals such as opioids ‒ and may actually do a better job of controlling pain conditions.

ReplyDeleteNot long ago I had an inguinal hernia surgery. In order to relieve my pain, the doctor recommended that I use the Inguinal hernia support belt . And I can say that it really helps me, since the belt is very comfortable, it has velcro on both sides, thanks to which the belt is easily adjustable. The leg straps are also easily adjustable with simple and comfortable Velcro fasteners.
