Pain Management
Persistent or chronic pain is described as pain that persists beyond the normal time that tissues take to heal following an injury.
Physiotherapy treatment and self-management approaches can “turn down” a hypersensitive nervous system, reducing your pain. At Louise Jewers Physiotherapy we believe in a holistic approach to treatment. We understand the pain science. By examining the underlying factors contributing to your aches and pains, we can devise a personalised pain management plan, just for you, and we will support you back to living a better life.

It affects many people and for some so severely that it restricts their ability to live their normal life. Most soft tissue injuries take several months to completely heal. If pain continues longer than 3 months, it is known as persistent pain. The emotional brain can be a key driver and there are many identifiable causes. However,with the right treatment and care, it is possible to change the way the brain interprets pain. Treatment approaches may include:
• General & Specific Exercise
• Posture advice
• Breathing, relaxation and mindfulness
• Manual Therapy
• Pain Education and how to control the impact it has on your life
• Advice on self-management strategies such as pacing, stress and sleep.

5 Key Facts About Pain
1) Pain does not equal the amount of tissue damage.
2) Pain is generated in the brain, not within the area of damage. So, all pain is in the brain and sometimes it persists after the tissues have healed.
3) Pain is influenced by multiple factors – thoughts, activity, mood, sleep, and stress.
4) Acute pain acts as important protection to warn about danger or injury.
5) Persistent (chronic) pain is due to a hypersensitive nervous system and no longer warns of damage. It is often being driven by our emotional brain as there is no longer inflammation or injury present.
