The Chronic Pain Center

The Chronic Pain Center is a holistic practice in Haymarket that treats chronic pain using myofascial trigger point therapy, a manual approach that targets tight, shortened muscles and the trigger points that can refer pain to other parts of the body. Common complaints include back and neck pain, headaches, fibromyalgia, sciatica, TMJ, plantar fasciitis and whiplash. The practice does not prescribe medication and focuses on a protocol that works to remove the causes of muscle tension.

The first step is an initial consultation, where the practitioner assesses whether the practice can help. Treatment usually takes two to four visits, with many people noticing a difference after the consult and the first two visits. Patients are also taught how to keep their muscles from tightening again. The office is at Washington Street in Haymarket and is open weekdays and Saturday mornings, with appointments by phone or email.
