Chronic pain is, unfortunately, all too common. In the US alone, 24.3% of adults have suffered from chronic pain, 8.5% of whom experience it almost every day. It has impacted their work, relationships, and well-being, making it difficult—if not impossible—to live normal lives.

Thankfully, help is available. Core Health Spine & Rehabilitation has built a reputation as a trusted source of pain management in The Woodlands, combining chiropractic care, rehabilitation, and interventional therapies to provide lasting relief.

Understanding Pain Management in The Woodlands

Pain management aims to reduce pain, improve mobility, and, by extension, restore your quality of life. It generally involves the following approaches:

  • Noninvasive treatments, such as chiropractic care, physical rehabilitation, and massages leverage your body’s natural healing ability.
  • Interventional procedures disrupt pain signals to your brain. These include injections and nerve-based treatments.
  • Personal rehabilitation is tailored toward mobilization, strengthening exercises, and lifestyle guidance.

This multidisciplinary approach treats not only the symptoms of pain but also its underlying causes, keeping them from causing further suffering. 

Common Types and Causes of Pain We Treat

Pain is a natural response to potential or ongoing injury. If you’re feeling pain anywhere, odds are a problem that needs addressing.

Back and Neck Pain

Poor posture strains your back muscles. Likewise, injury and improper lifting technique make your spinal discs prone to bulge or rupture, triggering sharp pain in the affected area. Getting back pain relief in The Woodlands is essential to recovery.

Joint Pain

Arthritis (joint inflammation) is a common cause of joint pain. In addition to underlying diseases like rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, it may also stem from overusing your shoulders, hips, elbows, and knees, as well as natural wear from aging.

Nerve-Related Pain

Nerve compression and irritation often radiate pain to several areas of the body. For example, sciatica—the irritation of the sciatic nerve, usually from herniated discs—manifests in pain, numbness, and tingling from the lower back to the legs.

Post-Surgical or Injury Pain

Ongoing pain, tightness, and discomfort are common after surgery or sustaining an injury. These sensations typically go away with time, rest, and medication. However, enduring pain requires immediate treatment to prevent possible complications.

Comprehensive Pain Management Services

You don’t have to endure it any longer. Core Health Spine & Rehabilitation offers tried-and-tested pain management in The Woodlands to help you get back on your feet.

Pain management services available in The Woodlands healthcare center

Chiropractic Care

Our chiropractors perform quick, controlled thrusts on the affected area to address misalignments. It realigns your body to ease undue pressure on your soft tissues and nerves, reducing pain over time. 

Physical Rehabilitation

Physical rehabilitation for pain relief involves comprehensive strength-building exercises and hands-on therapies to restore mobility after surgery or injury. Movement becomes less tight and painful, enabling you to return to your daily routines worry-free.

Massage & Myofascial Release

Massages relax tight, painful muscles and promote blood flow in the affected area. To break up tensions and scar tissue, we also perform myofascial release to specifically target your fascia—the connective tissue surrounding muscles.

Interventional Pain Therapies

Interventional therapies target pain at its source by disrupting nerve signals. We typically reserve these options, which include epidurals, facet joint injections, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, for intense pain that won’t subside with other methods.

Dry Needling and Trigger Point Therapy

We gently insert thin, sterile needles into your skin to address problems within deep layers of muscle. This technique targets trigger points or knots to stimulate the affected muscle’s twitch response, relax tight muscles, and increase blood flow to the area.

Worried about sedation or surgery? We’ve got you covered. Whether you’re looking for posture correction or head pain relief in The Woodlands, our treatments involve these minimal to noninvasive options, allowing you to recover without worrying about side effects.
