What a chronic pain therapist can do for you?
An experienced therapist can help you cope with the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that accompany chronic pain. Typically, this assistance involves showing the client relaxation techniques, addressing any anxiety or depression that has arisen due to the pain, exploring new coping skills, and changing old beliefs about pain. Along with medication therapy, a chronic pain specialist is able to help clients work through the mental and emotional aspects of this type of hardship. Studies show that some therapy can be as effective as surgery for relieving chronic pain as psychological treatments have the ability to alter how the brain processes pain sensations.
