News in Health – Chronic pain is pain that lasts three months or longer. It can affect your sleep, mood, work, and daily activities. Finding relief may take time and can include medicine, physical therapy, medical treatments, and other supportive therapies.
Researchers are exploring pain management options beyond medication. Complementary therapies such as acupuncture, massage, and tai chi may help reduce pain for some people. Nearly half of adults with pain use these approaches, and research continues to study their effectiveness for different types of pain.
