About West Suburban Pain Relief Centers, Inc.

Though every therapist at West Suburban Pain Relief Centers, Inc. is a licensed therapist, their work begins with talk, not touch. The initial assessment is a crucial part of every appointment—it covers the patient's medical history, symptoms, and habits, all in an effort to pin down the root cause of pain. And when the actual therapy begins, the staff don't always stick to traditional modalities, either. They integrate techniques ranging from Asian-style bodywork to postural and gait analysis, with the help of advanced medical machinery, compression therapy, and physical exercises. They're national-board-certified specialists, however, in trigger-point therapy, which locates tense spots in the body's muscles and aims to soothe them with focused, hands-on pressure. This type of treatment can help with headaches, back aches, and carpal tunnel, as well as the effects of fibromyalgia, chronic conditions, and long-term pain.

Regardless of the condition being addressed, the end goal for every therapist is that the patient no longer needs to see them, and to this end, they supplement their meetings with lessons on how to manage pain. Their tips might include exercise advice or simple tips for lifestyle changes, such as buying a better office chair or ceasing to carry a spare tire when you're not in a car.
