What is mechanical pain?

Mechanical pain arises when overstretching or overloading of soft tissues lead to actual tissue damage. These damaged structures undergo a healing process felt that may result in an incomplete repair. They become elastic and weakened. Pain is felt until healing is complete and function is fully restored. The solution is not decreasing inflammation with medication or injections. We need to remodel the tissue by gradually applying progressive forces. Normal flexibility and strength can be restored by using appropriate stimulation, exercises and stretching.

What can physical therapy do to provide pain relief?

Physical therapy may be known for helping rehabilitate injured patients to improving mobility and other functions, but this discipline can offer so much more. In fact, physical therapists play a major role in helping patients around the country manage chronic pain. Treatments may include exercises for strength and flexibility, body mechanics instruction, and education to inform patients about the underlying causes of pain.

Three main effects while performing exercise.

1. They may cause the symptom to disappear.

2. They may cause an increase or decrease in symptoms.

3. They may cause the pain to move from where you usually feel it to another location.

Each patient is different. Therefore, it is up to you and your healthcare provider to decide on the right course of action to treat your pain. A significant advantage of any of these noninvasive therapies is that they help patients become attuned to their own bodies and better understand the causes of their pain. It’s important to know that pain relief is possible without taking medications all day. Contact the Goldsboro Spine Center Experts to learn more.
