Tips To Help Reduce The Impact Of Chronic Pain
Chronic pain can impact the ability to live life to the fullest. Here at nochtli®, we want you to have the information you need so that chronic pain does not interfere with your quality of life!
What is chronic pain: Each of us experiences pain at some point in our life, from a splinter to a pulled muscle. Pain becomes chronic when it continues for several weeks, months, and even years, and chronic pain can be debilitating, making even a simple task, such as walking, very challenging. In addition, the burden of dealing with chronic pain can significantly impact our mental health and overall outlook on life.
There are many types of chronic pain which include arthritis, back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, or endometriosis.
There is good news! Simple life style changes can help reduce chronic pain:
1. Diet Changes. Food choices can impact the level of chronic pain. Understanding what these foods are, can be a critical component in reducing pain. Keeping a food log will track how food impacts the intensity of chronic pain.
2. Exercise. Pain tends to slow us down and cause us to feel less active. Exercises such as walking and strength training releases endorphins and acts as a natural painkiller.
3. Distract Yourself. Distracting ourselves with a movie, book, or good conversation can trick our minds into feeling less pain. Studies show by focusing on something else, brain receptors which process pain are less active.
4. Sleep. Pain can certainly impact the quality of sleep, and not getting enough sleep can intensify chronic pain. Studies show that adults should receive 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night. Research indicates that poor sleep quality/quantity contributes to a weakened immune system, so doing what we can to ensure adequate sleep can reduce chronic pain.
5. Avoid Prolonged Rest. Studies have shown that prolonged bed rest weakens muscles which may make pain worse, so be sure to keep moving and stay active.
