Behavior and Pain Management

Your behavior also plays a very important role in effective pain management. Changing your behavior and following a natural attitude provides much improvement in managing chronic pain, especially when combined with other types of treatment.  It is recommended that you:

• Think positive and focus on the things you can do, rather than thinking of what you can't.
• Divide big tasks into smaller, easier to perform activities.
• Incorporate a healthy lifestyle and fitness activities into your daily schedule.
• Find ways to minimize and manage your stress.
• Combine activity with rest.
• Create your personal support system, including family, friends and healthcare assistants.
