Chronic Pain Management

Managing Your
Chronic Pain

Behavior

Modifying your behavior and maintaining a healthy attitude can be very helpful to finding relief from chronic pain - especially when combined with other rehabilitative treatments. If possible, try to:

  • Focus on your strengths, not on your weaknesses - what you can do, not what you can't.
  • Break down activities into smaller, manageable tasks.
  • Build fitness and healthy eating into your daily routines.
  • Develop ways to lower and manage stress.
  • Balance rest with activity.
  • Develop a support system of family, friends and healthcare professionals.
