Chronic pain could be defined as “a pain with no apparent purpose that continues beyond the period of tissue healing.” Most of the time pain that persists for a long time causes complications, which in turn can make the pain worse and harder to deal with.
Most people who show the symptoms of chronic pain, are ‘accompanied’ by many tests that include x-rays, MRIs, blood tests, etc. – and which are not proportional to the symptoms presented by the patient and do not justify the extent of the pain.
Physiotherapy intervention is based on information, explanation and education. Active participation, exercise and understanding how the pain mechanism works are essential prerequisites for chronic pain management.
A physical therapist can assess and assess a person’s individual needs, providing the appropriate approach. The aim is to reduce symptoms, improve quality of life and prevent.
Understanding the physiology of pain changes the way people think about pain, reduces the risk of the threat, and improves their management of it.
