Pain is the most common reason people seek advice from their physician and one in five adults suffer from chronic or persistent pain.
Despite these numbers, the healthcare community has struggled to provide effective treatments to address the chronic pain from which millions of people suffer. These individuals often find themselves seeking treatment from various healthcare providers only to find that there is no easy answer. Many treatments provide temporary relief, but fail to address the underlying cause for the persistent pain.
As it turns out, chronic pain is much different than that of acute pain. Acute pain typically resolves while an injury heals (2-6 months) as the nervous system stops sending danger messages to the brain. Chronic pain, on the other hand, is caused by a dysfunction of the nervous system, when the nerves continue to send danger messages and the brain loses the ability to appropriately filter and interpret these messages. In fact, chronic pain can persist long after an injury has healed and even in the absence of an injury in the first place.
At Journey Physical Therapy, we can provide an effective way to manage and treat chronic pain. Through a collaborative effort, we work to empower our clients to overcome their disability and achieve their individual goals.

“I waited two, three months without improvement and wasn’t sure what I should do next. I was pointed to Praneeth. I’m delighted to say the results have been far, far beyond my expectations. I now have much better range of motion and I’m back to a full schedule of swimming. Things that I was struggling with in day to day life, I can do today.”

Mike, late 20's
“I’ve had knee pain since I was 18. I decided to have surgery and a friend of mine referred me to Journey. Praneeth has helped me be more patient, helped my knee get a lot stonger, helped me trust my knee, helped me regain my explosiveness. He also helped me mentally. I’m very confident about returning to the court.”

Scott, early 40's
“When I first started, I was at risk of missing family Christmas because I couldn’t endure a car ride, but now I’ve been pain free for about a year. I was not functional when I came in here, but ever since I’ve been here, I’ve been able to maintain normal life with my family. I don’t know what my quality of life would have been like without having come here.”
