Causes Of Chronic Pain

If you've been living with any type of chronic pain for a while, it can feel hard to know what the cause might be. For example, someone who has had multiple falls and injuries in the past may have trouble balancing due to poor postural habits. Or an obese individual may experience inflammation on certain joints because fat cells clog up blood vessels. This would increase the risk when experiencing trauma or twisting too far during physical activity.

How does physical therapy deal with Chronic pain?

• As the opioid epidemic became a public health crisis, healthcare professionals started to think about managing chronic pain without using prescription drugs. Now PT is said to be the non-drug approach over opioids because there has been some concern over their abuse liability in patients who are addicted or have mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety disorder with post-traumatic stress symptoms.
• Monterey CA Physical Therapy is a more holistic approach to healing that tackles the root cause of chronic pain. Unlike medications, which place an ineffective bandage over your issue and hope it will fix itself with time, physical therapists work tirelessly at improving mobility for your body's natural response.
• Physical therapy is effective because of various techniques such as massage therapy which applies deep pressure on certain parts and stimulates blood flow while releasing tension. Also, exercises are designed specifically around restoring muscle damage.
