What Is Pain Mangement?

Pain management involves a multi-faceted approach, combining medications (like NSAIDs, opioids, antidepressants), physical therapies (exercise, PT, massage, heat/cold), psychological strategies (CBT, mindfulness, biofeedback, relaxation), and medical procedures (injections, TENS, acupuncture) to treat the underlying cause or manage pain symptoms, often using a combination for better results, starting with conservative methods before moving to more invasive options.
