A multidimensional approach
Pain care may consider the cause and location of pain, inflammation, and how the nervous system processes signals. The team may combine approaches based on the person’s situation and needs.
- Tell the team when the pain occurs, what it feels like, and how it affects daily activities.
- Discuss the benefits and risks of care options with the clinician.
- Tell staff if the pain changes or if you experience a reaction to treatment.
