Pain management includes so much more than just medication. Body pain rarely only affects the physical point of pain. It can affect the whole body, including one’s emotional and mental wellbeing.

Understanding your body pain

Understanding your body pain is not only critical to helping you find the best way to treat pain, but it could also help speed your recovery or help manage it. Before reaching for a pain relief treatment, it is useful to understand what pain is, why it occurs, what it means, and the best ways to manage it. For instance, what is the difference between acute pain and chronic pain? What does it mean if pain is dull vs. sharp? Learn all about the types of pain and what they can mean.

Mental wellbeing

Our mental health is no less important than our physical health.

Learning how to set goals and reach out to others can be invaluable in the quest for sustained pain management. Here are some resources to help strengthen your mental wellbeing and keep your mind in tip-top shape.
