Book NowAnyone who has dealt with chronic pain knows how serious this issue is. Pain like this is a constant problem, can negatively impact your quality of life, and makes every day a nightmare. Finding relief from chronic pain is critical. Move Smart can help. Our whole-person approach to chronic pain services aims to help you overcome chronic pain. With us, you can finally get relief.
What Is Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain is a long-lasting type of pain. It can go on for months or even years at a time. In this way, chronic pain stands in contrast to acute pain, which goes away after a while.
For example, a sprained ankle from a sports accident often results in a few weeks of acute pain. However, that ankle sprain sometimes causes other ankle problems that persist far longer. That persistent pain is chronic pain.
Technically speaking, chronic pain lasts at least six months. However, there is no limit on how long this type of pain can last, leaving many suffering for much of their lives.
Our Chronic Pain Management Services
We provide a number of different chronic pain approaches to help you. All of these approaches aim to empower you in your struggle and take a whole-person approach to the issue.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy approaches to chronic pain focus on the mind-body connection, or somatic embodiment. They include exercise and movement programming that helps treat pain without pushing the barriers of difficulty.
Dry Needling
Many people find relief from chronic pain through dry needling sessions. Our team members have dry needling certifications to help provide this as one of our chronic pain treatment options.
Gait Analysis
For chronic pain issues stemming from how you walk, gait analysis is a potential solution. With this, we can identify problems with your gait and come up with solutions going forward.
Movement Analysis and Biomechanics
For chronic pain stemming from other movement issues, we provide a full movement analysis and biomechanics breakdown. With this option, you can learn even more about the source of your pain and find solutions for it.

The Move Smart Approach
Chronic pain is like a weed. It spreads through your body, sending tendrils of pain throughout the region it occupies. If you leave it on its own, the weed will continue to thrive and cause you pain.
Some practices choose to treat the weed by cutting it down and letting it be. These places treat the symptoms of the problem without addressing the source. Because of this, these pain relief programs are less effective in the long term.
At Move Smart, we go right to the root of the problem. We’ll address the root of your chronic pain so that you can feel better going forward. Plus, we’ll teach you methods of dealing with pain and help you understand your condition so you can prevent future pain.
Elements of our approach to chronic pain services include:
Consultation
We start working with you by listening to you. We want to hear what you have to say and learn as much about your issues and goals as we can.
Individualized Treatment
Once we know enough, we’ll proceed with the treatment. We’ll work with you to create a trauma-informed treatment approach designed for you and you alone. That way, we can more effectively help you.
Development
As we treat you, we will cultivate pain-free movement patterns. Over time, we’ll work on these patterns with you so that they become ingrained as part of your normal movements.
Education
We want you to fully understand what is causing your pain and where it is coming from. Your choices, your actions, and your movements have a massive impact on your level of pain, so understanding this is a critical part of persistent pain therapy.
