pain relief

 

How do we relieve pain?

Many patients are driven to make their first call and book an appointment due to pain. Pain can be constant or only induced by specific movements, it may be dull and achy or sharp and intense.

We understand that when you are in pain, it may affect your mood, ability to perform your daily tasks, performance, and overall quality of life. During your appointment, your practitioner’s first priority is to determine where the pain or discomfort is coming from, what is causing it, and when/how can we relieve it. The initial assessment provides your practitioner with extra time to assess you and provide you with a safe recommendation for treatment that will provide pain relief.

Some methods of pain relief used at OCR are:

  • Soft tissue release, massage, manual therapy

  • Electro-stim using IFC or Tens

  • Acupuncture

  • K-taping

  • Lifestyle or postural recommendations

How long will it take for my pain to go away?

Your practitioner will discuss all of your options, your prognosis, and make recommendation about how often you will need treatment and how long it typically takes for your condition to resolve. If your pain is acute, you will likely need to attend treatment at least twice per week for a few weeks. Each person heals at a different rate and we will be with you every step of the way. Our goal at OCR is to help you to live pain free as quickly as possible.
