Chronic Pain

Two Dreams Outer Banks offers a medically managed chronic pain rehabilitation program, focusing heavily on physical conditioning. Under physician supervision, our physical therapists provide fitness training that improves strength, flexibility, and endurance. Physical conditioning improves the client’s perception of pain, as well as overall functioning, mood, and sleeping habits, all of which contribute to the effective management of symptoms.

Our occupational therapists provide coaching in pain awareness and avoidance. They assess clients and educate them on the causes of pain and how to identify and adjust activities, particularly those that clients engage in regularly, that will likely trigger it.

To complement the physical and occupational therapists’ work, patients in our chronic pain rehabilitation program also receive training from our psycho-social clinical team. Our clinicians assist them in adapting their lifestyles for increased compatibility with their renewed abilities, which includes motivational counselling, support network cultivation, relaxation therapy, and work and hobby recommencement.
