Pain Management Techniques

Introduction

Many people are in pain every day. Whether it is their back, which is the most common pain problem today, or it is their legs and arms, there are many people going to see a pain doctor for management pain. Pain doctors will help with your pain. However, the medications they give you can become quite addictive for anyone who takes them. They do help, however and if you can take them in moderation then you shouldn't have too many problems while taking them. Just be careful you do not become addicted.

Physical Therapy Exercises

Physical therapy is what most pain doctors will recommend besides taking pain medication. It can truly help your pain as long as you keep at it even at home after it is over. There are certain exercises they will teach you to help with your pain. For example, for back management pain, they will teach you exercises to help stretch your back muscles. It really does help as I have had experience with it since I suffer from lower back pain. Here are some exercises they will teach you to do while at home after physical therapy is over. For management pain, you can do an exercise that will allow you to stretch your back muscles. This involves laying down on a flat surface and putting one leg forward while laying on your back. You will then have to use a sheet or pillow case to hold your leg up and stretch it up as far as you can. It will hurt at first and might make your back feel worse but after doing it for a while, it really does help with management pain. Try it and find out for yourself. Another management pain exercise for your back is to lay down on your back with a pillow under your head and do a few crunches. Start out with ten a day until you are able to do more. This will not only help with management pain but it will also help you lose weight if you are trying to and keep the weight off. You just have to remember to do them every day. Other management pain exercises include laying on your side and stretching your legs as high up as you can. Doing a few of these with each leg every day will help with management pain.

Pain Killers

There are certain very strong pain killers you can ask your doctor for management pain. However, be very careful not to get addicted as they are very addictive. The different pain killers include Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Methadone and Tramadal. There are most likely more but these are the ones I can think of for right now and they are some of the best ones for management pain. Like I said before, and I cannot stress this enough, be careful with these pain pills as you can become addicted to them very easily. Try the physical therapy exercises first and see if they help with your management pain. If the exercises work, and they will if you do them every day, you will not need to try anything else.
