Chronic Pain Management
Living with chronic pain is barely living at all. Imagine feeling so uncomfortable almost every hour of every day that you couldn’t continue doing whatever you love and whatever you have to do—difficult, right? That is why chronic pain management is vital. It allows you to eliminate the discomfort which interferes with your daily activities.
At Erina Skin Cancer Clinic, we will help you deal with pain and provide long-term solutions for the health issues that are causing you so much discomfort.
What Is Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain is a type of discomfort which is more difficult to deal with than acute pain because it lasts longer—at least six months. Meaning, headaches that only last for a few minutes are acute, but if they come back frequently for several months, then that could be chronic pain. Chronic pain can be intermittent or continuous.
How to Manage Chronic Pain?
There are several reasons for chronic pain, such as injury, arthritis, nerve damage, and other underlying health issues. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the root cause of this suffering so that the relief wouldn’t just be temporary. Regardless, here are some things that can help you manage your pain:
1. Pain Management Clinic
Going to a chronic pain clinic to have a chronic pain specialist check up on you is the first and safest way to manage chronic pain. These experts will assess your health and provide a proper diagnosis for your condition. Through this, you can receive the most effective treatment for your particular issue.
2. Drug Therapy
If you are experiencing mild pain, you can find relief from over-the-counter medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or panadol. In addition, there are also specific and tailor-made drugs prescribed by our doctor that targets your conditions, such as chronic pain / fibromyalgia, insomnia and mood disorder.
3. Exercise
You may think that moving while in pain isn’t a good idea. But it may be the first thing you need to improve your condition. Exercise may help in long-term improvements by strengthening your muscles and enhancing your flexibility.
4. Massage
Aside from the physical relief massages can offer, this procedure can also help reduce stress and relieve tension. With this, you can have time to relax and sleep well, so you’ll have more energy for the day to come.
