Chronic pain affects over 51 million adults in the U.S., making it one of the most widespread and disruptive health issues nationwide. It can rob people of sleep, limit their ability to work, and make even everyday activities feel overwhelming. Pain medicine may not always be enough. 

Pain management in The Woodlands at Core Health Spine & Rehabilitation is more than just relief—it’s the first step to regaining your life from acute or chronic pain. Our noninvasive and interventional treatments help prevent long-term damage and allow you to live a pain-free life.

Understanding Pain Management

Pain management involves finding effective treatment to ease discomfort, restore movement, and help people feel like themselves again. It includes a combination of noninvasive approaches.

  • Chiropractic care 
  • Physical rehabilitation
  • Massage
  • Advanced interventional procedures such as injections, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and nerve ablation

If you seek back pain relief in The Woodlands or long-term recovery from chronic conditions, effective pain management requires a personalized, multidisciplinary approach tailored to your needs.

Common Causes of Chronic Pain

Chronic pain often has deeper causes than what’s felt on the surface, and identifying those root issues is key to effective relief.

  • Musculoskeletal Injuries — Sprains, strains, and herniated discs are common injuries that can lead to long-term pain if not properly treated.
  • Degenerative Conditions — Osteoarthritis gradually wears down joints and vertebrae, resulting in persistent discomfort and stiffness.
  • Postsurgical or Posttraumatic Pain — Pain that lingers after surgery or a traumatic event can become chronic without targeted interventions.
  • Neuropathic Pain — Conditions like sciatica and radiculopathy involve nerve compression or damage, leading to sharp, radiating pain.

Comprehensive Pain Management in The Woodlands

Core Health Spine & Rehabilitation offers comprehensive pain management focused on noninvasive, whole-body care. Our personalized treatments are designed to alleviate pain, restore function, and prevent future injury without surgery or medication.
