Sanford Monthly - Self Care for Pain

Pain signals are our body's way of alerting us of and protecting us from injury or illness. However, pain lasting longer than three months is considered chronic. It can actually re-wire your nervous system, amplifying both the pain itself, and the stress that comes with it.

A comprehensive lifestyle treatment plan can break the complex cycle. Part of that is redirecting your focus on what you can do, instead of what you cannot.

-Start with a primary care physician to address possible underlying health issues or injuries.

-Reestablish purpose, strengths and goals, which can both energize and motivate.

-Assess daily habits like food, hydration, stress, sleep and exercise.

-Plan for frequent movement and breaks to generate circulation.

-Work with a personal trainer or physical therapist to restore strength and mobility.

-Try a mindfulness program or cognitive therapy to reestablish thought patterns and build relaxation pathways.
