Living with chronic pain can be a debilitating experience that affects all aspects of life. Pain management techniques can help individuals manage their pain and improve their quality of life.

The Far Rockaway Center, a facilities center under Centers Healthcare, offers a range of pain management services to meet each patient’s unique needs.

Here’s an ultimate guide to living pain-free:

Determine the source of the pain: Before seeking treatment, it’s important to determine the source of the pain. A healthcare professional can help diagnose the condition and recommend the best course of treatment.

Explore non-pharmacological options: Non-pharmacological options like physical therapy, massage, and acupuncture can help manage pain without medication.

Consider medication: Depending on the severity of the pain, medication may be necessary. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen and acetaminophen can be effective for mild pain, while prescription medications may be necessary for severe pain.

Participate in rehabilitation: Rehabilitation can help individuals regain strength, mobility, and flexibility after an injury or surgery.

Make lifestyle changes: Lifestyle changes like exercise, a healthy diet, and stress management techniques can help manage chronic pain.
