Chronic Pain Management Therapy
The personal impact of chronic pain is complex and requires a multidimensional approach to our physical, emotional and mental well-being. Pain Management therapy is backed by the weight of medical research and evidenced based therapeutic approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT).
To anyone suffering, often silently, with chronic pain, pain management therapy is for anyone ready to learn how to cope more effectively with pain. The main goals for pain management therapy are to:
Help you regain control of your brain and body.
Reduce pain intensity and frequency.
Reduce the impact of pain and illness in your life.
Manage triggers so that you have fewer episodes and pain flares.
Teach you how to cope more effectively with pain flares especially before pain spikes.
Reduce reliance on pain medications.
Improve your quality of life, so that you can reclaim and live the life you love even with some pain.
Your pain is real. Research shows medication isn’t enough. When it comes to pain, the physical, emotional and mental are intertwined. Pain management therapy does not just focus on the biological factors but also the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, social and environmental factors.
Pain takes away your power and makes you feel like you have less agency in your life. Pain makes you feel like your body and you are no longer in your control. It robs your health, mobility, independence, relationships and connections to your community, your sexual well-being, hobbies, job and your dreams.
It is time to regain your life back! The skills and approaches to pain management therapy will give you more control over your body so that pain and illness have less dominance over your life.
