Pain Management Strategies Besides Medication


Everyone wants to overcome pain. The question is: How?
 
Pain is usually accompanied by stress, distress and irritation. Chronic pain not only interferes with your daily activities, but also makes you anxious about the future. Hence the question arises: how to avoid or control pain effectively and safely? While some people don’t think twice before popping a pill, such a step provides only superficial and temporary relief. The root cause of the pain remains untouched and unexamined.

There are several tried-and-tested pain management strategies which you can use to tackle the problem of pain. Such strategies are cost-effective and without any known side effect.


Some of them are:


1. Massage: It helps both the mind and the body to relax. It reduces anxiety and induces sleep. Increased sleep would give you comfort from pain. Massage also increases the secretion of serotonin. Serotonin is known to affect mood, appetite, sleep and digestion. It reduces pain to a large extent.


2. Hot and cold therapy: Both hot and cold therapy can be used for pain management.
Heat is used to increase blood flow, relax spasms, and provide much-needed relief to the affected muscles. Hot therapy can be done using hot water bottle or heating pad. A hot bath will also work well.
Cold therapy uses a cold pack or ice to slow down blood flow to the affected  joint or muscle. This helps numb the feeling of pain for a while. Ice, a simple cold pack or a towel with ice cubes can help ease pain.


3. Physical therapy: This includes stretching exercises, light aerobics, pain relief exercises, and strengthening exercises. It may also include water therapy that is done in a pool. Such activities are usually done under the guidance of pain management specialists. Physical therapy is known to reach the root cause of the problem. If you have neck pain, then physical therapy may be ideal for you.


4. Meditation: The pain causes enormous stress to our body. Our muscles can get tense and our blood pressure and heart rate can increase. To control pain and its effects, many doctors prescribe daily meditation to their patients. Several studies have shown that people who meditate regularly have higher pain threshold.
