Living with the constant discomfort of chronic pain can disrupt your daily life and prevent you from enjoying the activities you love. The good news is that there are many research-backed treatments that can make it easier to cope with pain. The best treatment approach is one that balances modern medicine with healthy lifestyle habits. While medication can provide temporary relief from chronic pain, adopting certain wellness habits can help reduce your pain for longer-lasting results. Here are some great resources to help you learn more!
Find Ways to Ease Stress
Research shows that chronic stress worsens inflammation in the body, which can in turn exacerbate chronic pain conditions.
- Transform your home into an oasis by cleaning, decluttering, and banishing bad energy.
- Adopt a mindfulness practice like meditation or yoga to relax your mind and unwind tight muscles.
- Guided meditation and progressive muscle relaxation can also be helpful.
- If possible, try to engage in regular exercise for natural stress relief.
Explore Your Treatment Options
Popping pain medication isn’t the only way to manage chronic pain. Talk to your doctor about other treatments that may help you.
- CBD, the non-psychoactive compound derived from cannabis, has been known to help with the treatment of chronic pain.
- Studies have found that acupuncture can work as an effective supplementary treatment for certain types of chronic pain.
- Many chronic pain patients find massage therapy a useful treatment for relieving tension and releasing pain.
- Biofeedback is an emerging treatment approach that shows promise for chronic pain.
Limit Bad Habits
Certain negative health habits, like drinking, smoking, getting too little sleep, or leading a sedentary lifestyle can worsen symptoms of chronic pain.
- Self-medicating with alcohol is a slippery slope and can lead to issues with dependence and adverse health effects.
- Smoking can intensify feelings of pain by increasing blood pressure and reducing heart and lung efficiency.
- Poor quality sleep is associated with heightened pain sensitivity, so make sure you get your eight hours!
If you recently received a diagnosis of a condition that causes chronic pain, you’re likely wondering how your condition is going to impact your life. Try not to feel discouraged. There’s a lot you can do to keep your pain to a minimum. By adopting healthy habits early, you can reduce the negative effects of your diagnosis and live the life you want!
