Chronic Pain & Injuries
Are you suffering from constant pain? Maybe you have headaches or neck pain that won’t go away. Or joints that are always aching. You’ve tried conventional pain relief methods, but nothing has worked. It’s time to try integrative medicine.
The Dearing Clinic functional neurology experts get to the root of your chronic pain condition or injury. They don’t treat symptoms; they solve the problem. By understanding your unique movement patterns and physical limitations, the team can create a personalized care plan that accelerates the healing process using manual therapies such as chiropractic care, acupuncture, myofascial massage, regenerative therapy, and other drug-free chronic pain treatment strategies.
Types of Chronic Pain
When you are injured, special nerve cells alert your brain by causing a painful reaction. This process is useful because it is designed to help you stop or treat the injury. But when it continues for longer than a few weeks, the area of the brain that perceives pain becomes overly sensitized.
When the pain continues for 3 months or longer, it becomes chronic pain and your brain adopts an avoidance behavior and instructs your body to compensate with certain postures or movements to limit the pain. This process results in development of new pain, or pain progression that spreads throughout your body.
