Chronic Pain & Patient Education

Pain is a natural response to injury—your body signals when something is wrong, and once the injury heals, the pain typically subsides. However, chronic pain is different. It persists for weeks, months, or even years after the initial injury has healed. So, why does this happen?

When you injure yourself, nerve sensors in the affected area send signals through your nervous system to your brain, where the pain is processed. Normally, the pain stops once the injury heals, but with chronic pain, these nerve signals continue even after the injury has resolved. At CW Physio’s, our physiotherapists help you manage and overcome this persistent pain, guiding you through a tailored treatment plan that restores your ability to perform daily activities pain-free.

The Role of Patient Education

A crucial part of treating chronic pain is understanding what’s happening in your body. Patient education is at the heart of our approach. We don’t just treat your symptoms—we empower you with the knowledge you need to take control of your recovery.
