Physical Therapy for Chronic Pain in Worcester, MA

Has your pain lasted more than three months? If so, you fit the definition of Chronic Pain.

Do you remember the event that first started your pain cycle? Or has the pain crept up on you over time?

The problem is that when pain gets a hold on you, it’s difficult to interrupt the cycle and regain control of your life, no matter how it started.

At Clash Physical Therapy in Worcester, MA, we specialize in treating chronic pain from injury, illness, or painful chronic conditions.

We understand the emotional distress that comes from being in pain all the time!

Understanding Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is different from acute pain. Acute pain resolves once the injury or illness heals.

Chronic pain persists after the body heals.

Since it may not have a clear physical cause, you may feel judged when you talk to a medical professional.

Not here at Clash Physical Therapy!

We understand how your nervous system becomes hypersensitive, triggering ongoing, chronic pain signals. We know your pain is real!

How Physical Therapy Helps Treat Chronic Pain in Worcester, MA

Physical therapy is a proven, non-invasive approach to managing and reducing chronic pain.

Clash Physical Therapy uses a combination of techniques tailored to your unique needs.

Each physical therapy session helps you restore function, improve mobility, and reduce pain sensitivity for short and long-term relief to empower you to regain control over your life.

Manual Therapy

Soft tissue massage, joint mobilizations, and myofascial release reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation.

The hands-on treatments desensitize your nervous system, making you less reactive to pain signals.

This allows for increased tolerance for movement and ability to progress your home exercise program.

Therapeutic Exercise

Exercise helps manage pain. But, chronic pain makes movements difficult and painful. The wrong exercises can even make your pain worse.

At Clash Physical Therapy, we design a therapeutic exercise program especially for you, starting with gentle movements to make it easier for you to move.

As you move more freely and build strength, you progress to more challenging activities that improve function and decrease pain sensitivity.

With gradual therapeutic exercises in a controlled, supportive environment, you can rebuild your strength, endurance, and flexibility, reduce pain and improve your ability to perform daily tasks.

Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE)

A key component of chronic pain treatment is Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE).

PNE answers your questions about how and why pain is overtaking your body.

By learning how your brain and nervous system contribute to your pain, you have some tools to better manage symptoms.

PNE emphasizes stress, emotional health, and lifestyle and their effects on the perception of pain. Your physical therapist works closely with you to address these, developing and implementing stress management strategies and empowering you to improve your well-being.
