What do you mean Pain Management?

Physical Therapy is an aide to relieve pain, promote healing, and restore function. It is a safe and effective alternative to medication or can work alongside medication to manage pain. While each patient may respond differently to treatment, physical therapy has become a leading practice in the management of pain.

Pain management is done through exercise, manual therapy, education, and teamwork. Studies find that those who exercise on a regular basis experienced less pain and those who exercise more than 3 times a week are 28% less likely to experience chronic widespread pain.

Manual therapy is a hands-on approach to pain management. At Supreme Physical Therapy, our therapists will talk with you to understand your pain history and help set realistic expectations about your treatment. We develop a relationship with you and become an active participant in your recovery while encouraging you to do the same.
