Got Pain?
At ABC Physical Therapy we are committed to helping patients live a pain free life.

Pain is an unpleasant sensation brought on by varying degrees of severity as a consequence of injury, disease or emotional disorder.

Individuals experience pain by various daily hurts and aches, and sometimes through more serious injuries or illnesses.

Pain interferes with a person's quality of life and general functioning. Diagnosis is based on characterizing pain in various ways, according to duration, intensity, type (dull, burning or stabbing), source, or location in body.

Pain that stops without treatment or responds to simple measures such as resting or taking an analgesic, is called ‘acute’ pain. But it may also become intractable and develop into a condition called 'chronic' pain.
