Chronic Pain Conditions

Physiotherapy for Chronic Pain Conditions

Living with chronic pain can affect every aspect of your life, from your ability to move comfortably to your energy levels, sleep, and overall wellbeing.

At Health on Grange Physiotherapy, we help people in Adelaide manage chronic pain conditions through evidence-based physiotherapy, hands-on care, and personalised treatment approaches.

Whether chronic pain conditions have developed from an old injury, a medical condition, or seemingly without a clear cause, our experienced physiotherapists work with you to reduce pain, improve mobility, and help you regain control over your body and your life.

What are Chronic Pain Conditions?

Chronic pain is defined as pain that persists for more than three months or longer than the normal healing time. Unlike acute pain, which is your body’s short-term response to injury, chronic pain conditions often continue long after the original issue has resolved. It may be constant or intermittent, occurring in flare-ups, and can affect multiple areas of the body.

Common chronic pain conditions we see at our Adelaide physio clinic include:

  • Neck pain and headaches
  • Back pain
  • Osteoarthritis and joint degeneration
  • Shoulder pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Sciatica and nerve-related pain
  • Hip pain
  • Tendinopathies (e.g. Achilles, rotator cuff, tennis elbow)
  • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
  • Post-surgical or post-injury pain
  • Chronic pelvic pain

No matter your diagnosis, chronic pain is a complex condition influenced by physical, neurological, and emotional factors.

How Physiotherapy Helps Chronic Pain Management

Physiotherapy plays a key role in both the short-term relief, treatment and long-term management of chronic pain conditions. Our Adelaide-based physiotherapists use a combination of manual therapy, education, movement, and exercise-based rehabilitation to address the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms.

Our goals in treating chronic pain include:

  • Reducing pain and discomfort
  • Improving movement, strength, and flexibility
  • Restoring function in daily life and activities
  • Supporting mental health and reducing fear around movement
  • Encouraging self-management through education and personalised exercise


Our physios work closely with you to understand how your chronic pain conditions affect you and tailor your care plan accordingly. We’ll never rush your appointment or take a one-size-fits-all approach.

Physiotherapy Treatments for Chronic Pain Management

At Health on Grange, we offer a range of specialised physiotherapy services in Adelaide that can enhance your chronic pain management and treatment, depending on your needs and preferences.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a technique used to release tight muscles and trigger points that contribute to ongoing pain. It can help reduce muscle tension, improve blood flow, and alleviate nerve irritation, especially in chronic pain conditions affecting the neck, back, or shoulders.

Manual Therapy

Hands-on techniques, such as joint mobilisation, massage, and soft tissue release, can help reduce stiffness and improve movement, particularly in areas affected by longstanding tension or injury.

Pain Education and Behavioural Strategies

Understanding pain is a crucial step toward managing it effectively. We help you understand how chronic pain conditions work in the body and provide strategies to reduce fear, avoid flare-ups, and regain confidence in movement.

Clinical Pilates

Clinical Pilates is a treatment option used by our qualified physiotherapists to focus on improving your core strength, posture, flexibility, and body awareness. This gentle yet effective approach is particularly beneficial for people managing long-term musculoskeletal conditions, chronic lower back pain, or postural pain. A personalised program tailored to your individual needs will be designed for you, and once you and your physiotherapist are confident that you can perform your program safely and correctly, you will have the option to continue with it in our private Pilates Studio at your convenience.

Exercise Prescription and Graded Movement

We develop tailored exercise programs that are safe, achievable, and aligned with your pain management goals. Graded exposure to movement helps rebuild your confidence and reduce sensitivity in painful areas, supporting long-term recovery.
