4 WAYS TO TREAT YOUR NAGGING INJURY

Chronic pain from a nagging, ongoing injury can have a negative effect on your quality of life. Recognizing that your chronic pain is a problem is an important step towards finding effective treatment. As a physio clinic in Surrey, Surrey Sports & Rehabilitation has a vested interest in making sure that chronic pain sufferers know about the many potential treatment options that are available to them, including:

1. Massage therapy 

Treatment from a massage therapist can provide relief from chronic pain in two main ways. It increases circulation to the injured area, which encourages the body to heal itself. It also improves the flexibility of stiff muscles to relieve pain and tightness.

2. Intramuscular stimulation (IMS)

This option can be an effective treatment for patients experiencing neuropathic pain. Using techniques and practices adapted from traditional acupuncture, IMS finds and diagnoses muscle shortening in deep muscles.

3. Yoga

The postures and movements of yoga help to strengthen muscles and increase joint mobility, which can help to decrease inflammation and muscle tightness. If you do decide to try yoga techniques, make sure you practice at your own pace and only go as far into the different poses as feels comfortable.

4. Physiotherapy

Physiotherapists are licensed and highly educated professionals who help patients develop the necessary skills to manage and improve their chronic pain condition and the practice often involves the development of a safe activity program and advice on how to correct problematic postures and movements.
