Physical Therapy Techniques for Pain Management

Physical therapy offers a variety of techniques designed to address chronic pain at its root and improve your overall well-being. At Restore Physical Therapy, our specialists use proven methods to ensure effective and personalized care. Here are some of the key techniques:

• Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques are used to reduce pain and improve mobility in joints, muscles, and soft tissue. This approach is particularly effective for conditions like arthritis, back pain, and fibromyalgia.
• Therapeutic Exercises: Customized exercise plans are developed to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce stiffness. These exercises not only alleviate pain but also prevent future discomfort.
• Dry Needling and Modalities: For some patients, treatments like dry needling, electrical stimulation, or ultrasound therapy are used to relieve muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
• Posture and Movement Education: Poor posture and incorrect movement patterns can exacerbate chronic pain. Physical therapists educate patients on how to move properly, improving ergonomics and preventing reinjury.
• Stress Management Through Physical Therapy: Chronic pain often impacts mental health, leading to stress and tension. Physical therapy incorporates techniques to reduce stress, which can further help alleviate pain.
