Leading pain management specialist and leading clinician at Advanced Musculoskeletal Medicine Consultants, Inc. Dr. Patricia Delzell's new blog posts highlight pain management strategies. The new post on Advanced Musculoskeletal Medicine Consultants, Inc. website goes into things that everyone can do to manage various types of chronic or persistent pain instead of resorting to pain medication. Though some people will inevitably need to consume pain medication often prescribed by their doctors, many people can reduce their dependence on pain medication with proper weight management, staying active, maintaining a positive attitude, cognitive behavior therapy, and acupuncture. Many people will see the most benefit by combining multiple strategies.
Each year a growing number of Americans report suffering from chronic pain. In fact, more Americans are suffering from chronic pain today, or at least reporting it than ever before. However, many experts believe that much of the joint and back pain is associated with being overweight. The skeletal structure isn't designed to support the type of weight some people carry around, which leads to pain, especially around the joints. The pain can hamper movement, and everyday activities can become extremely challenging. That's why one of the keys to efficient pain management is to reduce weight and maintain an active lifestyle.

When talking about the blog post, Dr. Delzell said that the post was meant to help people suffering from moderate to low-intensity pain. Most times, the pain can be reduced if not eliminated by implementing good pain management strategies. However, there are instances where it would help to see a doctor to get the problem accurately diagnosed and consequently treated.
"I work with many individuals who report chronic pain. Often, the patients I'm dealing with need urgent help; other times, I see that the pain can easily be reduced if not entirely eliminated by implementing a couple of pain management strategies. Most of the strategies don't require taking any drugs, and the effects are near instantons. Though some strategies like the use of acupuncture may come across as controversial, there is an increasing body of evidence to suggest the benefits of acupuncture, in addition to other strategies in the post." Said Dr. Patricia Delzell.
She added, "You can do a lot to mitigate and manage pain. It does not take a lot of effort either. However, if the pain persists, becomes worse, or the pain is caused by an old injury, perhaps, then it's time to see a doctor. I help many patients deal with all manner of pain by diagnosing what's causing it and then addressing the issue. For some people, pain management can take longer than others, but it is a worthy pursuit."
