Lifestyle and home remedies
Chronic pain can have a major impact on your daily life. When you're in pain, you may have trouble sleeping, exercising or performing physical tasks.
Chronic pain can also cause anxiety and stress, which in turn may worsen your pain.
Relaxation techniques can help release tension, reduce pain, calm emotions and induce sleep. Many techniques can be learned on your own, such as meditation and deep breathing.
