Chronic Pain Treatments
Treatments for Pain Relief
At Phillips Medstone we understand not only the causes of Chronic Pain but also the evidence-based treatments that assist in Chronic Pain Management and help reduce your pain over time. We understand that the road to wellness begins by working together with the patient to identify the causes and symptoms of that pain and how it can be relieved.
We custom tailor a self-management program for each individual that empowers the patient to take control of their own healing. Phillips Medstone offers the most advanced treatment options currently available, all in a supportive, compassionate environment.
Bio-Feedback Therapy
Biofeedback is a mind-body technique that helps teach patients how to influence their autonomic nervous systems – the part of the body that controls involuntary physical functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and brainwave frequency. This is done by attaching an electronic “cue” (usually a “beep,” tone or visual image on a screen) to a measurable physiologic process. A person can thus monitor his or her internal responses and develop a sense of how to move them in positive ways. Biofeedback machines can detect internal bodily functions with sensitivity and precision, and allow involuntary physical functions to be translated in ways that can be understood. The information, or “feedback,” that the “cue” provides is used to monitor these functions and facilitate treatment for a variety of disorders while moving the patient toward a more balanced internal state.
