How can we relieve the pain?

There are several ways to relieve pain that work more or less well depending on the condition, the intensity and the origin of it. Below we list the most common.

• Analgesics: They are recommended when the pain is intense, and in a timely manner. They should not be used continuously as they can cause addiction and tolerance. In addition, analgesics do not act on the lesion if it exists, so it is advisable to use them as supplements and not as a cure.
• Apply heat to the area: Heat can be applied to the affected area, either using wet hot cloths, hot water bags, infrared with a special machine for it, or with ultrasound. The heat causes the blood vessels to dilate and improves circulation, causing pain relief.
• Massage: Applying a massage to the area with pain relaxes muscles and joints. This technique also helps you recover from the injury more quickly. In addition to this, if we apply heat to the area we will increase the relaxation and it will be much more effective.
  Furthermore there are massage machines that can be used at home, without having to go to a professional.
• Acupuncture: It is an ancient technique that involves nailing needles in the key areas of nerve transmission, relieving pain. The acupuncture is very effective, and must be done by professionals.
  In addition to this there are also ultra-frequency acupuncture machines that do not need needles and can use oneself. You can see the Acusmart review here
