Need Relief?
Find the source of your pain. Restore movement. Get back to living your life.
Pain can affect every part of your life—from work and exercise to sleep and spending time with the people you love. Whether your pain started yesterday or has been bothering you for years, lasting relief begins with understanding why you're hurting.
At Acadiana Pain & Performance Rehab, we don't believe in simply masking symptoms. Our goal is to identify the underlying factors contributing to your pain and develop a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan that helps you move better, function better, and return to the activities you enjoy.
A Different Approach to Pain Relief
Pain is rarely caused by just one problem.
Muscles, joints, nerves, connective tissue, movement patterns, and even previous injuries can all contribute to how you experience pain. Treating only the area that hurts may provide temporary relief, but it often doesn't address the underlying cause.
That's why every patient begins with a comprehensive evaluation that examines how your entire body moves and functions. This thorough assessment helps us identify the factors contributing to your symptoms so we can develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals.

Why a Comprehensive Evaluation Matters
Successful treatment begins with the right diagnosis.
Our evaluation includes a detailed review of your symptoms, medical history, movement patterns, joint mobility, muscle function, strength, flexibility, and nervous system when appropriate.
By identifying the contributing factors—not just the painful area—we can develop a treatment plan designed to improve movement, reduce pain, and help you achieve long-term success.
Research & Evidence
Modern pain science recognizes that pain is complex and often influenced by multiple physical, neurological, and lifestyle factors.
- Clinical practice guidelines consistently recommend education, exercise therapy, and individualized rehabilitation as first-line treatments for many musculoskeletal conditions.
- Manual therapy, dry needling, and other hands-on techniques may help reduce pain and improve movement when combined with an active rehabilitation program.
- Research supports a comprehensive biopsychosocial approach to pain management that considers movement, physical health, and the individual's functional goals rather than focusing solely on imaging findings or symptoms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can physical therapy help chronic pain?
Yes. Many people with chronic pain benefit from individualized rehabilitation that combines movement, education, strengthening, and hands-on treatment to improve function and quality of life.
Will I receive the same treatment as everyone else?

Do I need a referral?
Requirements vary depending on your insurance plan and state regulations. Our team can help determine whether a referral is needed before your first appointment.
How long will recovery take?
Recovery depends on many factors, including your diagnosis, the severity of your condition, your overall health, and how consistently you follow your treatment plan. During your evaluation, we'll discuss realistic expectations and develop a plan tailored to your needs.
