Chronic Pain
Chronic pain can be due to many reasons. It is typically known as pain that has now lasted longer than the expected healing timeframe or pain that has lasted for 3 months or more.
Establishing why you have chronic pain and what are the best treatment strategies will be a top priority at The Reform Lab Osteopathy. People who suffer with chronic pain know the effect it has on a multitude of factors in their life. From poor sleep, increased stress/anxiety, social withdrawal, fear avoidance and reduced ability to function daily.
It is important to know that you are the expert in your personal chronic pain story. Your osteopath has expert knowledge on pain science and the treatment modalities that may help you. This is where at The Reform Lab Osteopathy we use a patient centred, shared-decision making approach to getting you the answers you are looking for.
