In 2021, the expense to treat chronic pain, including hospitalization, advanced management services, disability income and disability income was estimated at almost $561 billion. The direct medical cost for patients suffering from acute back pain was estimated at $35 billion. The high cost of chronic pain is a result of a variety of factors such as low socioeconomic status, long-standing pain syndromes, inadequate awareness of pain management and treatment. Patients can reduce their dependence on medication and regain their ability to live a normal lifestyle even in the face of chronic pain. To provide the most effective treatment for acute and chronic pain, doctors must be proactive in their care for patients. Patients may require a range of options for managing pain to find the ideal combination of medicines and treatments to alleviate pain and speed up healing.

One of the most effective methods to treat pain safely and effectively is to use natural healing techniques. These techniques include acupuncture, massage, chiropractic adjustments, homeopathy meditation as well as exercise, nutritional therapy and physical therapy, as well as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). TENS is a method of pain stimulation that uses electric current. Studies have shown it to be effective in decreasing pain by as much as 90 percent. Many doctors are incorporating this method into their pain management strategies to provide patients relief from pain and increase their quality of life.

There are many reasons a patient may seek alternative pain management. A patient may need medication to treat a chronic condition or malady. However, the side effects can be severe. Acupuncture has proven to be a reliable and safe alternative to prescription medications in the management of chronic pain. This technique involves the use of thin, fine needles, which are inserted at specific locations on the body, in the belief that the body can heal itself. Some patients report improved sleep and increased relaxation and stress relief. Although it is not a replacement for other treatments however, it has been proven to be a safe and effective method of pain management.

Many physical therapy practices use Acupuncture to treat patients suffering from pain. Physical therapists utilize this method when the range of motion in a particular joint is limited or restricted. Acupuncture has proven to be very effective in relieving pain if the pain is caused by an injury to the muscle or another limitation. In addition to providing relief from pain and improving the quality of life of patients, acupuncture may aid patients in avoiding injuries by increasing flexibility, strength and stability.

In addition to acupuncture for managing pain physical therapists may also employ massage therapy for chronic pain sufferers. Massage therapy eases tension, stiffness, and tightness, and can help restore the natural motion. Massage therapy can be used to ease the pain of menstrual cramps and shingles as well as other forms of pain. Physical therapists also employ this method when the patient's condition is so serious that other, more aggressive forms of treatment have been tried and failed.
