Multimodal Pain Management

Multimodal pain management is an approach that uses a combination of different methods to alleviate pain effectively. Instead of relying on a single medication, it incorporates various treatments such as medications (like acetaminophen, NSAIDs, or nerve blocks), physical therapy, psychological support, and lifestyle changes. The goal is to target pain from multiple angles, which can enhance relief and minimize side effects. This strategy is often used after surgeries or for chronic pain conditions, providing a more comprehensive way to improve a person's quality of life and reduce reliance on opioids.
