“Chronic pain” What is it and how can we (MPG) help?

Posted on March 30th by Mead Physio Group

Chronic pain is a persistent unpleasant experience that has been present for more than 3 months. It reflects actual or potential tissue damage and involves all levels of your pain system from superficial skin, muscle and bone through your nervous system and up to your brain. This is why it is often difficult to manage.

At MPG, our approach to chronic pain to best assist you is to address all these levels of your pain experience including treating your physical body (muscle, tendon, spine) and your pain distress with brain-based therapy including cognitive behavioural therapy which sounds much scarier than it is!
While most of our MPG physiotherapists have advanced training in musculoskeletal physio, in addition to this, Jason also has post-graduate training in psychology studies that allow deeper discussions around how to better manage your life with chronic pain.
