Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is pain that persists for more than three months, often continuing beyond normal healing time. It may develop after an injury, illness, or surgery—or appear without a clear cause. Chronic pain can interfere with daily activities, work, sleep, and overall quality of life. Our goal is to identify the source of your pain and create a personalized plan to help you move comfortably and confidently again.
Causes of Chronic Pain
Chronic pain can develop from a variety of underlying factors, including:
* Previous injuries (sprains, strains, fractures) that did not fully heal
* Repetitive stress or overuse from work, sports, or poor posture
* Arthritis and joint degeneration
* Nerve damage or irritation (such as sciatica)
* Autoimmune or inflammatory conditions
* Post-surgical complications or scar tissue restrictions
* Muscle imbalances and poor biomechanics
* Chronic conditions like fibromyalgia
In some cases, the nervous system becomes hypersensitive, continuing to send pain signals even after tissues have healed.
Symptoms
Chronic pain symptoms vary depending on the condition but may include:
* Persistent aching, stiffness, or soreness
* Sharp, burning, or shooting pain
* Muscle tightness or spasms
* Limited mobility or flexibility
* Fatigue and reduced endurance
* Difficulty with daily tasks
* Sleep disturbances due to discomfort
Chronic pain can also impact emotional health, contributing to stress, anxiety, or low mood.

Our evidence-based physical therapy treatments focus on long-term relief and improved function. Your customized plan may include:
* Manual therapy to reduce stiffness and improve mobility
* Targeted strengthening and stretching exercises
* Neuromuscular re-education to improve movement patterns
* Postural correction and ergonomic guidance
