Acute pain is your body’s normal response to an injury or illness. It comes on suddenly, has a clear cause, and typically improves as the body heals — usually lasting a few days to a few weeks. Examples include pain from a sprained ankle, a surgical procedure, or a pulled muscle.

Chronic pain, on the other hand, is pain that lasts longer than three months — often persisting even after the original injury has healed. It can be caused by conditions like arthritis, nerve damage, or musculoskeletal issues, but sometimes the source isn’t obvious. Chronic pain can impact mobility, sleep, mood, and overall quality of life, making it more complex to manage than acute pain.

At Piedmont Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PPMR), we specialize in uncovering the root cause of chronic pain and creating personalized, non-surgical treatment plans designed to provide lasting relief — not just temporary fixes.

Yes, we are currently accepting new patients. If you’re struggling with chronic pain, we’re here to help. Give our Care Team a call today to schedule your appointment.

At Piedmont Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PPMR), we believe the key to lasting relief is understanding what’s causing your pain — not just treating the symptoms. That’s why our diagnostic process is thorough, personalized, and focused on uncovering the root cause of your discomfort.

Your evaluation may include:

• Comprehensive medical history – understanding your pain journey, past injuries, surgeries, and treatments

• Detailed physical examination – assessing strength, mobility, posture, and pain triggers

• Advanced imaging – such as X-rays, ultrasound, or MRI when necessary

• Specialized testing – including nerve studies, inflammation markers, and other targeted diagnostics

• Lifestyle assessment – exploring factors like stress, diet, sleep, and activity levels that may contribute to pain

Because chronic pain is complex and unique to every patient, we take the time to listen first and look deeper. By combining detailed assessments with advanced diagnostics, we create a personalized treatment plan that addresses the true source of your pain — helping you move, live, and feel better.

Yes, we work with many patients across the Upstate, SC area and patients that travel here for treatment from across the United States.

If you’re not local, we will work with you to develop a treatment plan that works for your travel needs.

At Piedmont Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PPMR), we take a different approach to chronic pain — one that focuses on treating the cause, not just the symptoms. While many clinics rely on temporary fixes like pain medications or quick procedures, we take the time to listen, understand your story, and uncover the root cause of your discomfort.

Here’s what sets us apart:

• Personalized Care Plans – Every patient’s pain is unique, so your treatment plan is designed specifically for your body, your lifestyle, and your goals.

• Non-Surgical Solutions – We specialize in minimally invasive and regenerative therapies to promote healing naturally, without unnecessary surgeries or long-term narcotics.

• Whole-Person Approach – Chronic pain often involves multiple factors — from inflammation and nerve function to hormones, nutrition, and mobility. We address them all for better, lasting outcomes.

• Compassionate Expertise – Led by Dr. Matthew Terzella, we combine decades of experience with advanced techniques to help patients move, live, and feel better.

• Partnership in Healing – At PPMR, you’re not just a patient — you’re a partner in your own recovery. We guide you, support you, and celebrate your progress every step of the way.

Our goal is simple: to restore your quality of life by providing innovative, personalized care that helps you get back to living — not just managing pain.

In preparation for your appointment, please be sure to fill out the New Patient Forms on this page and send to us at ppmr@hush.com or bring to your first appointment.
