Managing pain can be an overwhelming feat for millions of people. When over-the-counter pain meds don’t work, physicians often prescribe pain medications that unfortunately, can become addictive, and when these drugs stop working, many times patients are told they need surgery.
While surgery has its place and is necessary in certain cases, it’s not always the answer. If you are living with chronic pain or pain from an injury, you might be surprised to know that numerous people just like you have found significant regenerative relief from physical therapy.
Physical Therapy can help alleviate pain by increasing flexibility, relieving tightness, stiffness and soreness. PT also builds muscle strength, which is a big issue with many chronic pain symptoms, and PT can expedite your long-term recovery and help you avoid surgery.
