Chronic Pain Treatment Carnegie
Chronic Pain
Chronic, by definition, ‘persists’ or lasts beyond the time it takes for normal tissue healing to complete. That is, usually beyond 3-6 months.
At this stage in your recovery, other body and mind systems become involved in your pain experience, including immune, nervous, hormonal, behavioural and emotional contributors to your pain. So, in managing chronic pain, it’s important to consider multiple factors that may influence your pain experience – this is known as a biopsychosocial approach to management – and these factors are different for everyone. Addressing single factors in isolation (e.g. joint stiffness) is unlikely to make a real difference to your pain experience.
Current evidence now shows us that Rehabilitation and exercise is the most effective modality in managing pain. At Glen Eira Physiotherapy and Physiolates our physios have a special interest in managing chronic pain through the use of rehabilitation and exercise and will design an individualised exercise program for you.
