Physiotherapy as an integral part of chronic pain management
Chronic pain affects millions of people around the world and represents one of the most important challenges for health systems. At mivisalud.com we understand that a comprehensive approach is key to improving the quality of life of those who suffer from it, and that is why we are committed to physiotherapy as an essential tool in its treatment.
What is chronic pain?
Chronic pain is defined as pain that persists for more than three months and can originate from multiple causes: degenerative diseases, poorly healed injuries, nervous system disorders or even without an apparent cause. Unlike acute pain, chronic pain can have a strong emotional, social and functional impact.
The role of physiotherapy in chronic pain management
Physical therapy not only relieves pain, but also helps restore movement, improve muscle strength and regain body functionality. Among the most prominent benefits are:
- Pain reduction without medication.
- Improved range of motion.
- Muscle strengthening and posture improvement.
- Prevention of relapse or aggravation.
- Increased autonomy and quality of life.
