Our Pain Management Map
This map gives an outline of where you currently are in your pain process. It displays your own goals, and our goals for you. It details how much support you may need, and includes the next steps to take, including re-evaluation and mid-process goals.
When you are in pain you need to give over that control at certain stages, to get the help you need. But this must be on the basis of a clearly agreed pain management plan which meets your goals.
It is particularly important that you are then able to take back control of your wellness. We give you the tools to do this so that you can take responsibility for your own health and wellbeing.

Causes of Pain
Genetics
You may have inherited a genetic issue from your parents. For example, lordosis, an outward curvature of the spine, can cause pain and affect the abillity to move. Inward curvature of the spine can occur with kyphosis or scoliosis. These conditions can can cause back pain, muscle fatigue, and stiffness.
Other issues may also include bulging discs, pinched nerves, slipped discs, muscle weakness and spasms.
Physical Trauma
Any physical trauma can trigger a pain response. It could be a car crash, a slip, trip or fall, or poor ergonomics in your workplace. You may have repetitive strain injury (RSI) from a computer, or a factory line. RSI can be caused by any type of work that is repetitive in one plane of motion, or focusing on particular muscle groups.
You may be straining these muscles over and over again, without rest. The trauma could also be caused by competitive sport, or foot issues such as flat feet or high arches.
Emotional Trauma
Stress can trigger underlying physical issues like a bulging disc or a neck issue. Stress and emotional trauma floods the muscle with adrenaline and cortisol and can send muscles into spastic shock. The muscle can then tighten causing pain. This muscle may also tighten and press down on a nerve causing a pinched nerve issue. This occurs most commonly in the neck at C5,C6 or in lower back at L4, L5. These pinched nerves can radiate pain through the arms, the legs, up into the head and down into the toes. It is a physical issue, but triggered by an emotional state
