If you're one of the many Essex County residents living with chronic pain, you already know how it affects every aspect of your life — from work and sleep to daily activities and relationships. Chronic pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physical therapy, and the good news is that evidence-based PT can make a profound difference.
What Is Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain is defined as pain lasting more than three months. Unlike acute pain that signals injury or illness, chronic pain can persist long after the original cause has healed. Common types include chronic back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and nerve pain.
How Physical Therapy Helps
Physical therapists use a combination of manual therapy, targeted exercise, and patient education to address the root causes of chronic pain — not just the symptoms. Your Holsman therapist will conduct a thorough evaluation and design an individualized plan that may include:
- Manual therapy and soft tissue mobilization
- Therapeutic exercise and movement re-education
- Postural training and ergonomic guidance
- Modalities such as ultrasound or electrical stimulation
- Pain neuroscience education
