What is chronic pain?
If you are experiencing any type of pain that has lasted for more than three months, it is considered chronic. This may present in a variety of ways such as chronic back pain, neck pain, or joint pain. However, the cause of your pain will usually inform what type of chronic pain you develop.
For instance, if you have experienced a sports injury, you may develop chronic pain around that area. On the other hand, conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome may result in wrist and hand pain.
Identifying the underlying causes of your pain is then crucial to treatment.
What to expect with treatment
Initial consultation
First, we will sit down with you and build our understanding of your needs, concerns, medical history, and preferences.
Physical examination
We will then conduct a physical examination in an effort to accurately diagnose the underlying cause of your chronic pain.
Treatment
We will then use osteopathic techniques designed to offer pain relief. Through careful, manual manipulation of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, we aim to relieve muscle tension and promote your overall health. We will also use exercise rehabilitation, specific to your level and needs, to address the problem in the long term.
The potential benefits of osteopathic treatment
A holistic approach
Osteopathy uses a holistic approach to care, ensuring that no part of your body and health is overlooked.
Relieve stress
We aim to help your body relax with tailored treatment designed to reduce muscle tension and relieve stress on a neurological level.
Strengthen systems
Osteopathy aims to strengthen the musculoskeletal system, encouraging tissue damage to recover.
Non-invasive
Osteopathy treatments are non-invasive, so you can feel secure getting the help you need.
Your chronic pain questions answered
What techniques do you use to address chronic pain?
We use a variety of treatments and techniques in an effort to help manage chronic pain. Our trained osteopaths may utilise soft tissue massage, Muscle Energy Technique, joint mobilisation, spinal manipulation, and many more methods in an effort to help treat chronic pain.
Likewise, we also offer dry needling treatments. This treatment involves your osteopath inserting small, sterilised needles into the muscle in an effort to relieve muscle tension and offer relief.
Is osteopathy painful?
While there may be some discomfort, our team is committed to using methods that are within your ability to cope with, designed to help your body in an effort to improve your overall health.
How many sessions are needed to treat my chronic pain?
Many people may experience some relief after only a single session. However, to get the most out of the treatment you will likely need to follow a treatment plan of several sessions. Chronic pain is, unfortunately, a long term problem that will often require a long term solution. There is usually no quick fix but our team is uniquely trained to handle this problem and we are confident in our ability to improve your quality of life.
