Pain Ladder Concept

The Pain Ladder is a step-by-step approach used by healthcare providers to manage pain effectively. It guides treatment starting with mild methods like over-the-counter medications or lifestyle changes. If pain persists or worsens, stronger medications or therapies are introduced progressively, such as prescription drugs or advanced interventions. The goal is to control pain while minimizing side effects, adjusting treatments as needed. This systematic approach ensures personalized care, aiming for the best possible relief with the least invasive options first before exploring more intensive therapies.
