Living with the effects of chronic pain is debilitating. Whether you’re managing constant joint stiffness, back pain, rampant migraines, or consistent inflammation, you’re likely always on the hunt for a viable solution that will allow you to navigate life in the most pain-free manner possible. In addition to medications and treatments prescribed by your physician, there are a few other ways to alleviate symptoms of chronic pain. Here, you’ll find Ohm’s top treatments for chronic pain relief.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic Floor Therapy (PFT) is designed to address common pelvic concerns, such as incontinence, pain, constipation, and even postpartum recovery. For issues like endometriosis, which cause chronic pelvic pain symptoms, PFT can be extremely beneficial. PFT strengthens the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles; for those with endometriosis, these muscles can often become tight, creating soreness and pain. This type of physical therapy consists of a series of mobility and flexibility training sessions, along with a comprehensive pelvic floor assessment.
At Ohm, our Pelvic Floor Specialist, Bernadine, uses her 25+ years of experience to treat pelvic pain concerns in both men and women. Bernadine uses a holistic approach to provide long-term solutions to pelvic floor issues, allowing individuals to regain control of their bodies and overcome persistent pain.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
If you’re an athlete or have a movement-intensive career, you may be dealing with chronic pain as a result of daily physical exertion. With Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), you can reduce inflammation in the body and encourage tissue and muscle repair. This treatment involves going into a hyperbaric oxygen chamber for, on average, an hour; during this session, you will breathe in pure oxygen. The pressurized nature of the HBOT chamber promotes oxygen delivery, which then flows to the tissues, promoting increased circulation and tissue repair. Those with nerve pain can greatly benefit from HBOT; additionally, those who have experienced chronic pain as a result of a brain injury may find HBOT helps reduce any swelling while stimulating angiogenesis, the process of growing new blood vessels.
Spondylogenic Reflex Therapy
This treatment, otherwise known as Spinal Reflex Therapy, is the concentrated application of pressure to certain musculo-tendonous attachment points on the body. SRT aims to address the overfiring of spinal reflexes, which can contribute to spinal issues and other chronic pain in the body. When administering SRT at Ohm, we use a thermal scanner to check and review these troubled areas around the spinal region. This scan helps identify which muscles are burdened – from there, we target these pain points through pressure-forward body work, which can help your body relax and can combat chronic pain symptoms as a result of exhaustion.
