Have you tried these non medication pain interventions? I have, and they work.
Pain is something that we all can relate to on some level. Unfortunately, it is one of the most limiting factors for our seniors and for those facing chronic illness or progressive disease. Did you know that the lack of joint mobility produced by getting up and moving around/walking or rolling in bed, increases a person's pain because of these factors?
- fluid builds up around the joint when a joint is immobile
- muscle atrophy can cause pain
- pain elicits fear which limits movement
Intervention for pain is often a missed opportunity for the use of NONmedication/pharmaceutical options that work even better than the average go-to medication choice are discussed in this episode. The elderly population and those with chronic illnesses are at a disadvantage when it comes to pain management because of how medications are prescribed. What if you could ease their pain without adding another medication? I have seen it work and I encourage you to experience it as a recipient first so that you can possibly deliver relief to your loved one in the same way.
- myofascial release
- meditation
- hypnosis
You can develop the skills to help your loved one with pain and see the relief they experience and then utilize their less painful state to increase their mobility. Remember the less they move, the more they feel the pain. So, don't be afraid to teach them how to move through some pain and to address the pain, validating it and attempting to find a solution for it, each and every time.
