Pain is an unpleasant feeling and often full of emotion due to actual or potential tissue damage. We usually link pain with injury or tissue damage, but it can be present in the absence of tissue damage due to changes in the nervous system's response to pain. 

Chronic pain is pain that has been present for greater than 3 months.   Often physical therapy addresses the limited range of motion, weakness and poor function using exercise, passive stretching and instruction in self care.  

These are effective tools for many people but for those patients for whom the pain does not decrease, manual therapy techniques provided at Integrated Wellness and Physical Therapy may be beneficial in addressing the ongoing pain through work on the nerves and nervous system and helping to desensitize the receptors in the body including myofascial release, neuromeningeal and visceral manipulation.
