What is pain management?
Pain management is an area of medical care that focuses on tools and techniques to ease your pain. This includes acute pain from injuries or surgery, as well as chronic pain.
Physical therapy is one of the primary pain management treatments for acute and chronic pain. Physical therapy helps ease pain, promote healing, improve mobility, and prevent disability.
