Pain Management

It’s easy to use pain medication as a crutch when you’re trying to manage your chronic pain, but the exceptionally skilled team at Repair Recover Restore (R3) in White Plains and Port Chester, New York, can help you create a more long-term treatment plan with chiropractic care and physical therapy. Call the nearest office or request an appointment online today to learn more about the benefits of pain management.

What is pain management?

There are many different ways to treat acute or chronic pain — including pain medication, surgery, epidural injections, physical therapy, acupuncture, and more — but not every treatment provides a long-term solution.

When it comes to chronic pain, prescription medication may not be enough to manage your pain, and it can’t treat the root of the problem.

More holistic approaches to pain management, such as physical therapy, acupuncture, and lifestyle changes, can help reduce your pain without using medication as a crutch.

What causes persistent pain?

The causes of chronic pain are not always black and white, and your pain management plan can be just as complex.

Some of the most common causes of chronic pain are:

• Injury
• Poor posture
• Poor sleep habits
• Stress
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Osteoarthritis
• Herniated disc
• Whiplash
• Fibromyalgia
• Cancer, in rare cases

If your pain lasts for longer than a few weeks, you may be dealing with an underlying issue that needs to be addressed. Call the Repair Recover Restore team right away to determine the root of the problem if your pain does not go away.

What is involved in pain management?

Depending on your pain cause, your doctor may recommend a combination of treatments, including medication, physical therapy, or even surgery.

Chronic pain is especially difficult to treat, as it can be easy to rely on medication to reduce pain symptoms rather than treat the underlying problem.

Fortunately, there are more sustainable options for pain management that can help you reduce pain and return to your daily activities.

The experts at Repair Recover Restore can help relieve your pain using a combination of modalities.

If you are suffering from neck pain, back pain, fibromyalgia, or any other causes of chronic pain, a combination of physical therapy, chiropractic care, and acupuncture can help alleviate your symptoms.

How can I manage my pain at home?

In addition to physical therapy treatments, like massages and acupuncture, there are steps you can take at home to ensure you maintain your progress, such as:

• Targeted exercises
• Stretches
• Lifestyle changes
• Breathing exercises for stress reduction
