Demystifying Chronic Pain’s Root Causes
When tissue damage like a strained back initially triggers pain which then persists long after expected healing time frames, complex neurological and biochemical dysfunction keep discomfort signals flowing.
- Potential perpetrators include:
- Nervous System Dysregulation
- Hormone/Chemical Imbalances

“Jill is an incredibly talented physical therapist. She treats the body as a whole, is super thorough, and her knowledge base is amazing . She helped me identify issues that many other medical professionals missed. Her dry needling technique is one of the very best! She cares deeply for her patients and works very hard to get them well. She has helped me so much and I will recommend her to anyone struggling with health concerns, chronic pain – you name it. Jill rocks and is one of the best PT’s out there!”

“I have worked with handful of other great physical therapists; however, there are many things that set Jill apart. Not only is she incredibly thoughtful and caring, she is the most thorough and comprehensive physical therapist I have ever worked with. When other therapists couldn’t find answers, Jill searched harder and looked for more clues. When I was ready to give up, Jill was my cheerleader saying, “let’s keep trying, I have more ideas!” She has extensive knowledge and shares this knowledge with me in a manner that I can understand and incorporate in my daily habits and movement patterns. She collaborates with my other healthcare providers including my chiropractor. This is rare but is the way healthcare should work; it has allowed me to make more progress than I ever have. I have recommended her to multiple friends and they share the same feelings I do. Jill is fantastic. Don’t wait, make an appointment- you won’t regret it.”
