What’s Causing Your Chronic Pain

Understanding the root cause of chronic pain is the first step toward lasting relief. Chronic pain is defined as pain lasting more than 12 weeks and can stem from a variety of conditions and injuries. Common causes include:

Arthritis and joint inflammation
Herniated discs and spinal conditions
Fibromyalgia
Old sports injuries
Post-surgical complications
Nerve damage (neuropathy)
Poor posture or repetitive strain

Unlike acute pain, chronic pain often persists even after the original injury has healed. At Stratton Rehabilitation Clinic, we use a thorough assessment process to identify underlying issues, including muscular imbalances, nerve involvement, and biomechanical dysfunctions that may be contributing to your ongoing pain.

At our clinic, chronic pain therapy goes far beyond generic stretches or exercises. We take a person-centered approach using a combination of manual and therapeutic exercises.

Our physical therapists work one-on-one with each patient to develop a treatment plan that aligns with their specific needs, goals, and daily routine. Whether your pain is located in the lower back, neck, knees, or shoulders, we provide solutions that are safe, sustainable, and designed to promote long-term relief.
