If you have been living with pain you can’t seem to shake, don’t hesitate to request an appointment at our physical therapy clinic in Glenn Dale, Clinton or Laurel, MD today. We’ll get you set up with a treatment plan that will manage your chronic pain the right way.
Physical therapy – the ideal treatment for chronic pain
Our physical therapists are highly-trained movement experts who diagnose physical problems and treat underlying structural causes surrounding those problems. If your condition is posing limitations to your life, our dedicated physical therapists can assess the best ways to manage those. One of the main goals of physical therapy is pain relief, and discovering the root cause of the pain to treat it, rather than mask symptoms with medication.
At Evidence PT in Glenn Dale, Clinton and Laurel, MD, we perform physical evaluations to analyze weak areas of the body, focus on places with limited range of motion, and look for any imbalances in gait or standing. All of this helps to identify the underlying causes of your chronic pain.
Once the evaluation is complete, our physical therapist will create a treatment plan unique to your specific needs. Your treatment plan will incorporate in-clinic treatments, as well as an at-home program to ensure that you are remaining healthy and active at all times.
Treatment plans will likely also include specialized, soothing manual therapy techniques to help restore soft tissue and joint movement, pain-relieving modalities, and gentle targeted exercises to improve your strength.

Common causes of chronic pain
Most cases of chronic pain stem from a neurophysiological origin. Chronic injury, illness, anxiety, and feeling depressed are intertwined in a complicated web, which leads your neurological system to always be on high alert. Chronic pain can appear in the form of back pain, joint pain, nerve pain, or headaches. It most commonly occurs due to one of the following causes:
Disease
Accidents
Overuse Injuries
Surgery
So, what’s the difference between acute and chronic pain?
Acute pain can be defined as pain that goes away on its own in a few hours, days, or weeks. The example of a minor ankle sprain would be considered acute pain, as the pain will subside shortly within a few days.
Chronic pain is a constant discomfort that lasts for 3-6 months or longer. There are several reasons why people may experience chronic pain, and it is the most common reason for seeking medical help. It can greatly hinder your quality of life by limiting your mobility, creating a dependence on prescription drugs, or even causing anxiety and depression. However, this can all be avoided with the help of a physical therapy clinic.
