Stress and Chronic Pain?

Pain is something nobody wants to experience at any point in their lives. Whether it's emotional pain or physical pain, it's something we tend to run away from. Chronic pain significantly reduces the quality of life, and your ability to participate in the excitement that life offers, may be affected.

Some types of pain, especially the ones with psychological origins (maybe the headache that never goes away or the tension and ache in your shoulders that seem to be there for no reason) take longer to be soothed. You may have made multiple visits to hospitals, clinics, and doctors. Maybe the pain is only temporarily relieved with medications. 

Unresolved physical health issues can cause chronic pain that may lead to stress and overall dysfunction, and unresolved stress can lead to the development of physical health issues and chronic pain.​​ 

No matter what the root of the pain is, moving the body intentionally and consciously with gentle guidance from mental health-informed physical therapy experts can be extremely helpful in pain management. Dr. Shailendra Kumar Saxena offers his physical therapy services with kindness and compassion.
