Types of Pain Management Approaches

- Rehabilitative and occupational therapy addresses both the source of pain and daily function with guided exercises and mobility strategies.
- Complementary alternative medicine such as acupuncture, yoga and meditation to support overall well-being.
- Lifestyle techniques may be recommended for diet adjustments and low-impact exercises like swimming to support long-term improvement.
