Pain Management

What is pain management?

Pain management is an area of medical care that focuses on tools and techniques to ease your pain. This includes acute pain from injuries or surgery, as well as chronic pain.

Physical therapy is one of the primary pain management treatments for acute and chronic pain. Physical therapy helps ease pain, promote healing, improve mobility, and prevent disability.

The team at Elation Physical Therapy specializes in physical therapy for pain management.

What happens during a pain management evaluation?

When you visit Elation Physical Therapy for a pain management evaluation, you can expect a comprehensive initial assessment. The goal of your initial exam is to fully understand your pain condition and how it affects your physical health and function. 

Your physical therapist reviews your medical history and asks detailed questions about your pain. They also inquire about your daily activities and how your pain affects your ability to manage your day-to-day responsibilities.

Your physical therapist performs a physical, assessing your body’s muscle strength and balance, as well as your mobility and flexibility.
