Pain Management Therapies

Pain Management Therapies in physiotherapy focus on reducing discomfort, improving function, and enhancing overall quality of life for individuals experiencing acute or chronic pain. These therapies address pain arising from musculoskeletal, neurological, or post-surgical conditions. Physiotherapists use a combination of evidence-based techniques such as manual therapy, electrotherapy (like TENS and ultrasound), dry needling, heat and cold therapy, stretching, and tailored exercise programs. Alongside physical treatment, education on posture, ergonomics, and self-management plays a key role in long-term relief. The main goal of pain management physiotherapy is not only to alleviate pain but also to identify its underlying causes, restore movement, and help patients return to their normal activities with confidence and comfort.

Using physical techniques and modern modalities for effective pain relief:

• TENS, IFT, and ultrasound therapy

• Heat and cold therapy

• Dry needling and cupping (if certified)

• Trigger point and soft tissue release
