Pain Management

Pain is something that happens in any part of the body, as a result of surgery, repetitive strain, illness, injury, medication, or any other of the many contributors and variables that can affect the body and its organs and systems. It can be acute or chronic. It can feel like a stabbing, grinding, throbbing, or a dull ache. It can come and go or remain persistent. Many people believe they have to "just live with" the pain they're experiencing, and often resort to taking large amounts of over-the-counter pain medication in an attempt to control or manage it. They just accept this degraded ability to function, which can affect emotion and confidence, as "the way it is." 

It does not have to be like this! You can Love Your Life again with the right therapy and tools!

Low back pain is very common. Most people experience it at least once in their lifetime. For most people, the pain is temporary. But back pain can become long-lasting (chronic) if a person has ongoing poor posture and body mechanics, unstable core muscles, ongoing walking (gait) issues, or if under stress and/or depressed.

Low back pain can happen anywhere below the ribs and above the legs. The lower back bears most of the body’s weight. Therefore, there can be many causes for pain such as injury, aging, pregnancy, herniated disc, compression fractures, joint issues, illness, genetic spine issues, and overuse.

Shoulder and upper back pain are often the result of strain occurring because of sports (for example tennis, golf, baseball), continual compensatory elevation of the arm from improperly positioned desks, poor posture, injury or surgery.

Arthritis, fibromyalgia, and joint pain are stubborn inflammatory issues that affect aging parts of the body, athletes, those recovering from surgery, and those affected by autoimmune disorders alike.

If you've had surgery or suffer from a neurological issue, you have probably experienced nerve pain. This can feel like a lightning bolt shooting into you, an electric shock, or bees stinging you. Cancer and viral infections can also have this effect. 

Generalized pain can stem from any number of issues, which can be frustrating for the patient. This is a functional pain that has no defined origin. At FYZICAL Bridgeville, we treat the body as a whole - and through a variety of methodologies, we can narrow down what could be causing your pain.
