Conservative Pain management is an approach to treat any kind of pain by utilizing non-surgical treatment options. Many cases of pain can be managed by one or more conservative methods. That is why in non-emergency conditions, conservative management is preferred to avoid the risks associated with surgery.
Conservative treatments for pain include:
Advantages of Physical Therapy:
- Strengthens muscles
- Increases the flexibility and range of motion of the injured part
- Better functionality of the impaired structure
- Relaxes body
- TENS: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy uses electrical stimulations through electrodes applied on the skin particularly at the area of pain. The electrodes produce low-voltage electrical current that energises the nerves present in the affected area. Thus a signal is sent to the brain that reduces pain.
