Physiotherapy is an essential component of chronic pain management. Physiotherapy approach in chronic pain is different compared to that after an injury (acute pain). Longstanding pain results in altered biomechanics and changes in the way nerves transmit the pain sensations to the brain. Altered biomechanics leads to more stress on some body parts at the expense of protecting the painful areas. Over a period of time this can lead to the relative weakening of certain muscles and one needs to be re-educated on the basics such as correct posture, gait and, weight bearing.

We understand that getting started can be difficult. Your physiotherapist will help tailor the exercises to your current functional status.

An experienced physiotherapist can help you by:

• Setting realistic goals
• Dividing exercises into smaller achievable steps giving you a sense of achievement and enabling achievement of bigger goals which may seem impossible initially
• Giving you advice on posture and activity levels
• Educating you about your pain condition and the do’s and don’ts
• Explaining the concept of pacing of activities, activity cycle and helping you implement these. In simple words, this means avoiding over activity at one time and undertaking a predetermined amount of minimal physical activity every day irrespective of pain severity. The amount of physical activity is then increased gradually and maintained to let the body get accustomed to the new activity levels. Hence the focus is on gradual increase and maintaining the positive trend. Doing too much at one time can lead to increase pain and inactivity over the next few days. This is unhelpful as it promotes deconditioning of muscles and reinforced the negative thoughts such as increasing activity means more pain
• Aim to make you independent and self-reliant so that in the long run you can continue with the exercises on your own
• Keep you motivated and guide you through the difficult time, helping you progress towards your goals.

Chronic Pain Management In Delhi

Chronic Pain Management In Delhi

Pain affects more people than heart disease, diabetes, and cancer combined International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP)

If you do not believe this statement then let me remind you of some common scenes from your daily life. You may have stopped noticing these believing that nothing can be done or accepted them as a part of aging. BUT IS THAT SO?

…remember the grandma who grunts in pain every time she tries to get up

…. the husband who complains of a backache every morning, taking his time to overcome the stiffness before he can start his day

….aunt who finds it difficult to get out of the car because of pain

….your colleague who has to randomly take time off work because of severe headaches

…your work colleague who keeps pressing his neck complaining of neck pain

….your friend who gave up badminton because of shoulder pain

….diabetic uncle who cannot sleep as he feels his feet are on fire

….your close friend who underwent breast surgery a few years back and still complains of pain

Do these sound familiar… and I have not even talked about the numerous patients with sciatica, tennis elbow, heel pain, abdominal pain, cancer pain, pelvic pain, testicular pain, chest-wall pain, post-traumatic pain, nerve injury pain, etc. The list is endless. The financial burden of these problems on individuals, families, society, and government is enormous.

Yes, these are all examples of chronic pain

Yes, these are challenging to treat because pain is a very personal experience and one therapy does not work for all.

BUT YES…. there are options that can improve your quality of life significantly. After all, quality of life is important for everyone. For someone, it may all be about being able to play a few rounds of golf and for someone to attend an important meeting at work without being distracted by pain. Your goals are your goals and they are important.

Chronic pain is a frequent condition affecting an estimated 20% of people worldwide. Globally 1 in 10 adults is diagnosed with chronic pain each year. Despite this, not many are aware of the available pain management options. The general perception is that pain management is for cancer pain. Even for the majority of well-informed people, it stops at a few nerve blocks for relieving pain in cancer or trigeminal neuralgia.

In India, there is huge variability in the services offered by the existing pain clinics. Lack of recognized comprehensive training curriculum in pain medicine with government-approved minimal training standards may be one of the contributing factors. The focus of most specialists is on interventions rather than holistic management. This is contrary to most western countries where Pain Medicine is a separate specialty with a well-defined curriculum and minimum standards that must be fulfilled for one to proclaim himself as a pain specialist. The focus there is on long term solutions using a multidisciplinary approach and teamwork. Nevertheless, the awareness for chronic pain options is increasing with an important role being played by the media. I hope that the benefits do not get restricted to a privileged few and all fellow brothers and sisters are able to benefit.
