Pain after an injury or surgery should go away once you recover. When pain persists and makes daily tasks difficult, Comprehensive Physical Therapy is here to help you find relief and move with greater confidence.
Chronic pain is classified as pain that lasts three months or longer. If your pain persists, or if you have a chronic condition or disease, it is important to develop a strategy to address it. You do not have to depend on potentially addictive medication to seek relief.
At Comprehensive Physical Therapy, we provide the tools and treatment you need to work toward feeling your best. Our team in Metairie and Mandeville begins by listening to your concerns and identifying the factors that may be contributing to your pain.
Persistent discomfort can have many sources. A thorough evaluation helps our physical therapists understand what may be driving your symptoms and how to create a plan for recovery.
When one area is injured or misaligned, supporting muscles and joints may compensate. Incorrect movement can place strain on other parts of the body.
Any workplace accident or injury can result in chronic pain and may interfere with the way you move through your workday.
Conditions including arthritis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, shingles, and diabetic neuropathy can contribute to ongoing pain.
Surgery may correct structural concerns, but the recovery period can be difficult and painful. Physical therapy can support a safe return to function.
Overuse injuries frequently cause chronic pain. Without proper posture, joints and muscles may be more likely to become injured.
People injured in car accidents may experience widespread chronic pain in the weeks following the accident.
One of the primary goals of physical therapy is to treat the underlying causes of pain. Physical therapy can also teach you proper body mechanics that may help you avoid future injuries.
Our physical therapists are movement experts who conduct comprehensive examinations to assess posture, weak body regions, restricted range of motion, and gait or balance concerns. These findings guide a personalized rehabilitation plan.
Your plan may include both in-clinic and at-home therapy, advanced pain-relieving techniques, and light strength-building exercises to help restore soft-tissue and joint mobility while keeping you safe and comfortable.
