Mundet Robert

Chronic pain, a debilitating condition affecting millions worldwide, significantly impairs quality of life and daily functioning. While pharmacological treatments are commonly used, their long-term efficacy and safety raise concerns, leading to increased interest in non-pharmacological interventions. Physical Therapy (PT) emerges as a pivotal approach in managing chronic pain, leveraging various techniques such as exercise therapy, manual therapy and patient education. This article explores the multifaceted role of PT in chronic pain relief, examining its mechanisms, benefits and integration into comprehensive pain management plans. Through an evidence-based analysis, the article underscores the importance of individualized PT interventions and their potential in enhancing patient outcomes.
