Non-pharmacologic pain management intervention

Melissa L Adams et al. Clin Podiatr Med Surg. 2008 Jul.

Abstract

Unfortunately, many physicians and patients only seek pharmacologic treatments to aid in pain relief; however, many nonpharmacologic interventions exist with excellent potential for pain treatment. This article reviews several of these strategies with an emphasis on clinical indications and expected outcomes. The topics of chronic pain psychology and prescription writing also are reviewed. As a medical provider, it is important to remain open minded to alternative approaches to pain control.
