Chronic Pain & Central Sensitisation

What it is:

A specialised service for individuals with persistent pain lasting longer than expected after tissue healing. Chronic pain often involves central sensitisation, where the nervous system amplifies pain signals. At Ocampo Clinics, we combine manual therapy, education, graded exercise, and evidence-based strategies to restore function and improve quality of life.

Why it is beneficial:

Traditional treatments alone may not resolve chronic pain. Our approach acknowledges both the physical and neurological dimensions of pain, helping to reduce hypersensitivity, improve movement confidence, and restore independence.

When it is recommended:

Persistent pain lasting >3 months
Pain disproportionate to imaging findings
Conditions such as fibromyalgia or neuropathic pain
When conventional treatments haven’t worked

Ideal for treating:

Fibromyalgia
Persistent low back or neck pain
Post-operative pain syndromes
Nerve-related pain
Complex regional pain syndromes
