The bigger problem with PT is it is structured on recovery and improvement, which doesn't really apply to chronic pain. We are looking for help in managing it, not "curing" it.
PT is the only place that seems to understand that as they will treat all parts of the body. For those of us with joint, muscle, and nerve problems that is big plus. Sadly some places are structured to only treat the part the referral was for. Absolutely insane.
Yet there are no specialists who understand this. They are all siloed off pretending that their is no interaction between, let alone on your overall health.
