Treatment for chronic pain

Treating chronic pain involves a combination of approaches tailored to the individual. These may include medications such as analgesics or antidepressants, physical therapy to improve movement and strength, and psychological techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy to manage emotional factors. Alternative options like acupuncture or chiropractic care can also help. In some cases, nerve blocks or injections are used to target specific pain sources. The goal is to reduce pain intensity, improve function, and enhance quality of life through a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach that addresses the physical and emotional aspects of chronic pain.
