Pain Management: 5 Things to Remember

5 Things You Should Remember About Pain Management

September is Pain Awareness Month

1. Pain is more than a symptom.

Chronic pain affects nearly 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. It can disrupt sleep, work, relationships and mental health. Recognizing pain as a condition in itself is the first step toward effective care.

2. Opioids aren’t the only option.

New non-opioid medications and minimally invasive procedures are expanding the choices for safe, effective relief.

3. Innovative therapies are here.

Spinal cord stimulation, targeted nerve blocks and other advanced treatments go beyond pills — offering lasting improvements in daily life.

4. Whole-person care makes a difference.

The best outcomes come from combining physical therapy, lifestyle changes and behavioral health support alongside medical treatment.

5. You don’t have to face it alone.

Pain can feel isolating, but care teams today bring together specialists across disciplines to create personalized plans that address each patient’s needs.

Next step:

If you’re living with chronic pain, talk to your provider about options that may be right for you.
