What is chronic pain?

Chronic pain is pain that lasts longer than three months and may continue even after an injury has healed. It can develop gradually or begin after surgery, an accident, illness, or repetitive strain. While pain often serves as the body's warning signal, chronic pain becomes more complex because it can involve changes in muscles, joints, nerves, and the way the nervous system processes pain.

At Serenity Osteopathic, LLC, Dr. Noblitt takes a whole-person approach to chronic pain management. Rather than simply masking symptoms, she works to identify the underlying factors contributing to your discomfort so treatment can address the source whenever possible.

What conditions can cause chronic pain?

Chronic pain affects every person differently and can stem from a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Dr. Noblitt evaluates patients experiencing:

• Neck and back pain
• Joint pain involving the shoulders, hips, knees, or ankles
• Arthritis-related discomfort
• Muscle tension and myofascial pain
• Tendon and ligament injuries
• Chronic headaches related to muscle dysfunction
• Repetitive stress injuries
• Pain following surgery or previous injuries
• Persistent pain that limits daily activities or exercise

Even if you've been told your pain is something you'll simply have to live with, a comprehensive evaluation may uncover treatable factors contributing to your symptoms.

How is chronic pain treated?

Your visit begins with a detailed medical history and physical examination to understand how your pain affects your daily life, movement, sleep, and overall well-being. Dr. Noblitt carefully evaluates your posture, mobility, joint function, muscle balance, and biomechanics to create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Depending on your condition, treatment may include osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) to improve mobility, reduce muscle tension, and support your body's natural healing process. 

She may also recommend:

• Therapeutic exercises
• Stretching programs
• Lifestyle and activity modifications
• Dry needling
• Trigger point injections
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, when appropriate

Dr. Noblitt's goal is to help you move more comfortably, participate in the activities you enjoy, and improve your overall function—not simply manage pain from one appointment to the next.
