Pain Management

Chronic pain conditions affect quality of life in many ways. Midwest HealthStrategies offers a physical therapy clinic in Muncie, IN that specializes in treating chronic pain conditions. There are several techniques that may help reduce pain and improve mobility and function. Your physical therapist would evaluate your history and current level of functioning, then devise a specific treatment plan for your condition.

Therapy may include specific therapeutic exercises and muscle re-education to help improve posture, strength, range of motion, and functional activities. Manual, or hands on, techniques may be performed to help with pain, alignment, and muscle and connective tissue restrictions. Therapy may also consist of modalities such as heat, ice, electrical stimulation, or ultrasound to help manage pain. Depending on your tolerance to activity; aquatic therapy may be initiated, then as you improve in tolerance, strength, or pain, the therapy may be transitioned back to land therapy to increase functional activity. Education on movement patterns, lifting, pain relieving and relaxation techniques, and/or home programs are incorporated in every treatment to maximize the ability for you to take charge of your pain and help manage it.
