DETERMINING THE ORIGINS OF YOUR PAIN
starts hurting when you lift something heavy. But there are other situations in which pain develops, and the cause of the pain is unclear. No matter what the scenario is, your physical therapist can help you. When you meet with a physical therapist to determine where your pain may be coming from, the first thing you’ll do is have a conversation about it. Your therapist will likely want to know: 1. How long you’ve been experiencing your symptoms 2. Where it developed and where is it currently 3. What makes your pain better and what makes it worse 4. Consider whether or not your pain only happens at particular times of the day or year These distinctions can help shed some light on what may be causing your discomfort and direct the type of intervention you will need to resolve your problem. Our physical therapist will interpret what you tell them into what the body is trying to say to you! Regardless of where your pain is, how long you’ve been dealing with it, or how intense the pain feels, the intelligent thing to do when pain develops is to speak with a physical therapist. Working with a physical therapist can help you finally get a step ahead of your pain, finding treatment options that are designed to provide you with long-term relief instead of temporary relief from medication.
Have you been struggling with pain and aren’t even sure how it started? Have you gotten advice that doesn’t seem to help your pain? Physical therapists are trained in identifying and treating the source of your pain, allowing you to shift away from using pain medication to treat the symptoms. Different types of pain can tell you about your body and overall health. Sometimes, pain in your arm or your leg may have little to nothing to do with an actual issue in your arm or leg. Physical therapists are specialists in identifying the causes of pain. A physical therapist knows how the body’s systems work. This understanding makes it possible to identify the potential causes of pain, even if the pain is manifesting itself in an unusual or seemingly inexplicable way. Whether you are suffering from pain in your head, back, neck, or anywhere else in your body, working with a physical therapist can help you find the relief you are looking for.
