Neuropathic Pain
Question: For neuropathic pain, what can a pain specialist recommend other than medications?
A pain management specialist may recommend several non-medication treatments for neuropathic pain, including:
– Physical therapy: to help improve mobility and reduce pain
– Occupational therapy: to help patients perform daily activities with less pain
– Acupuncture: a traditional Chinese treatment that involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body
– Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS): a therapy that uses low voltage electrical currents to relieve pain
– Spinal cord stimulation: a treatment that involves implanting a device that delivers electrical stimulation to the spinal cord
– Psychotherapy or counseling: to help patients manage the emotional impact of chronic pain
– Lifestyle changes: such as exercise, stress management, and good sleep hygiene
It’s important to note that the best approach for a patient will depend on the specific cause, severity, and characteristics of their #NeuropathicPain.
