Manage Chronic Pain with Physical Therapy
Fifty million Americans suffer from chronic pain—the pain results in lost work, wages, and time with family and friends.
Everyone’s pain is different and unique to them, but the definition of chronic pain is pain that lasts for more than twelve weeks. The good news is that most can manage chronic pain with physical therapy.
