Pain Management
Millions of Americans suffer each day with pain that often goes untreated. Very few people, however, realize that therapy can offer healthy and empowering strategies for dealing with, limiting, and overcoming pain. We recognize the long-term disabling effects pain can have on your life. Our therapists are specially trained in pain management techniques; working closely with your physician, they are prepared to provide the most comprehensive care available.
Treating the many causes of pain
The success of our pain management therapy relies on our multi-dimensional approach, which considers all the contributing biological, psychological, and social factors that cause the pain you experience. Working as part of a team, our therapists can create an effective course of therapy that is as individual as you.
Breaking the pain cycle
At SSPT, we understand that people suffering from chronic pain can get caught in a cycle of pain, depression, and stress that often leads them to use prescription drugs for relief. This is problematic because medication often only treats the symptoms, not the root cause of the pain. Research has shown that the most successful pain management plans combine a number of strategies, where the use of medication is often the last option.
Your SSPT therapist will help you break the pain cycle by using a range of techniques to relieve pain, restore function and movement, and prevent further problems. Our therapy techniques are based on scientific evidence-based research that demonstrates the effectiveness of different techniques and treatments to relieve pain.
