9 Ways To Stop Pain Without Medication

It is a misconception that pain can only be dealt with medicine. Thanks to advances in modern science, we now have various ways of dealing with pain instead of popping a pill. While these methods are slow to act, they are without any harmful side effect. By relying on the body to deal with pain, you will end up stronger than before.

Why controlling pain is necessary

• Being in constant pain can distract your attention from your work.
• Pain can increase the level of stress and anxiety.
• Pain can interfere with your leisurely time by preventing you from pursuing your hobbies.
• In some people, chronic pain can lead to full-blown depression.

How to control pain

1. Drink enough water: It is common knowledge that you should drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. Staying well-hydrated will keep your muscles from stiffening up. It will maintain the flexibility of the spinal discs which are between the vertebrae.  

2. Get enough sleep: Your body undertakes all kinds of restorative activities while you sleep. Sleeping at least 8 hours at night will give your body enough time to heal itself. It will also give the scope to any pain medication you are taking to work properly. Sleeping is essential for getting relief from pain.

3. Get some sunlight: 15 minutes of sunlight helps the body produce vitamin D. In some people, the production of vitamin D can reduce the sensation of pain. Not having enough vitamin D can actually be one of the causes of chronic pain.

4. Try guided imagery: If you are in pain, try to imagine a place you always wanted to visit, or your favourite spot in the city. Try to imagine the sounds, the feeling of walking and the colours. Imagine talking to the people present. This will help take your attention away from the pain.

5. Use warm water: By soaking your body in warm water, you can control pain in the muscles. Many kinds of arthritis also respond well to a warm water treatment. This helps to increase circulation and relieves tension in the muscles. You can also apply a heat pack to the affected region.

6. Stretch the muscles: Doing simple stretching exercises can help loosen up the muscles, increase blood circulation to the bones and relieve tension in the soft tissue. You can apply a heat pack for 15 minutes before beginning to stretch in order to limber up the muscles and reduce tension.

7. Practice meditation: Studies have shown that people who practise meditation regularly report lesser pain than those who don’t. Meditation allows you to refocus your mind and stop you from becoming overwhelmed with the sensation of pain.

8. Release your endorphins: They are natural hormones which reduce the perception of pain by blocking the opioid receptors in the brain. Any activity which increases your heart rate will induce the release of endorphins. To pick an activity, make sure you are strong enough to undertake it. Do simple aerobic exercises like walking or jogging to help reduce the sensation of pain.

9. Get massage: Numerous studies have shown that massage helps the major muscle groups to relax and help decrease the feeling of pain. Massage also helps in the release of endorphins. Make sure you talk to your doctor before getting massage. A qualified masseur will usually use gentle massage to help relieve tension in the muscles.
