Abstract

Chronic pain, persisting beyond the typical healing period, affects millions worldwide and requires a multidisciplinary approach for effective management. Physiotherapy is a pivotal component in this approach, offering a range of interventions to alleviate pain and enhance function. This article explores the role of physiotherapy in managing chronic pain conditions, focusing on assessment and diagnosis, pain education, exercise therapy, manual therapy, physical modalities, postural and ergonomic training, and cognitive-behavioral approaches. Evidence indicates that physiotherapy can significantly reduce pain, improve physical function, and enhance quality of life. Despite challenges such as patient adherence and individual variability, physiotherapy remains a crucial element in a comprehensive treatment strategy for chronic pain.
