What does pain treatment involve?
Pain treatment at Luna Clinic is an interdisciplinary approach to acute and chronic pain of the musculoskeletal system. We combine modern methods - blocks, intra-articular injections, pharmacotherapy and manual therapy - selected individually according to the cause of the complaint. The aim is not only to relieve pain quickly, but also to remove its source and permanently restore function.
Indications
It is particularly indicated for people with chronic complaints in the spine area, such as lumbar, thoracic or cervical pain. The therapy aims to relieve muscle tension, improve joint function and reduce inflammation. Regular sessions help restore comfort and improve quality of life.
Pain treatment includes the therapy of trigger points and myofascial tension that cause discomfort and movement restrictions. With appropriate manual or instrument techniques, tension can be reduced and tissue elasticity restored. The result is pain relief and improved mobility.
People with joint pain resulting from overload, injuries or degenerative diseases can benefit from pain treatment. Therapy aimed at relieving the joint, improving its stabilisation and regenerating tissues reduces pain and improves movement. It is a good solution for people suffering from knee, hip or shoulder pain.
Pain treatment is used in cases of neuropathic complaints such as sciatica, neuralgia or peripheral nerve dysfunction. Therapy aimed at reducing pressure on the nerves and improving their conduction brings relief to patients. This allows the gradual restoration of motor function and the reduction of pain.

Frequently asked questions
What does pain treatment in manual therapy involve?
The therapist combines soft-tissue techniques, joint mobilisations and exercises to remove the source of the complaint - tension, restricted mobility and overload - rather than merely masking the pain.
Which pain conditions do you treat?
Lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine pain, tension headaches, sciatica and brachial neuralgia, joint pain, sports and occupational overload, and stress-related tension.
How long does a therapy session last and how quickly will I feel relief?
A session usually lasts 45-60 minutes. Most patients feel noticeable relief after just 1-3 sessions, although a lasting effect usually requires a series and home exercises.
How many treatments are needed to get rid of the pain?
For recent complaints usually 3-5 sessions, for chronic ones 6-10 at decreasing frequency. We set the plan after the first diagnostic visit and modify it along the way.
Does manual therapy hurt?
Some techniques working on tense tissues can be momentarily unpleasant, but the therapy is conducted within the patient’s tolerance. After the session, 1-2 days of tenderness is possible, followed by relief.
Do I need a referral or tests?
A referral is not required. If you have imaging (X-ray, MRI) or treatment records, bring them - they will help with functional diagnostics and therapy planning.
When does pain require a medical consultation rather than therapy?
With pain after an injury, with fever, sudden paresis, sensory disturbances or weight loss - a medical diagnosis comes first. We cooperate with the Luna Clinic orthopedist and will refer you further if needed.
How does manual therapy differ from massage?
Massage mainly relaxes the muscles; manual therapy is targeted work - it includes functional diagnostics, joint mobilisations and neuromobilisation techniques, matched to the cause of the pain.
How to prepare for the visit?
Come in comfortable clothing that allows the treated area to be exposed, after a light meal. Prepare information about the nature of the pain: how long it has lasted, what aggravates and relieves it.
What to do between sessions so that the pain does not return?
Do the recommended exercises, take care of work ergonomics and activity. You will receive simple home guidance - it is what consolidates the therapy effect and prevents recurrences.
Is pain treatment combined with other treatments at the clinic?
Yes - we cooperate with orthopedics (injections, blocks) and surgery at Luna Clinic; manual therapy is sometimes also a preparation for procedures and support for recovery.
How much does pain-treatment therapy cost in Wrocław?
The price depends on the session time and scope of therapy. You will find current prices in the Luna Clinic price list; we treat the first visit with diagnostics as the foundation of the treatment plan.
Contraindications
How to prepare?
You do not need any special preparation - comfortable clothing is enough. Bring your medical documentation (hospital records, imaging) if the therapy concerns recovery after surgery or injury.
How does the procedure go?
Therapy is provided by Ilona Zalewska; symptoms that need a medical diagnosis are referred to the clinic’s orthopaedic surgeon.
Recovery and recommendations
After the session you may feel a pleasant relaxation or temporary “soreness” of the worked tissues - this is natural and passes within 48 hours. The therapist will give you simple exercises and recommendations for home.
