Pain is our body's way of indicating that something is wrong and needs attention. Whether it feels like a sting, itch, prick, ache, or burn, the affected body part sends that signal of pain to the brain.
There are two different types of pain: Acute and Chronic.
Some ways to establish an acute pain relief plan -
Many times acute pain can be managed with over-the-counter medication such as acetaminophen (Paracetamol, Tylenol) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs (Aspirin). These help in treating headaches, toothaches, fever, throat pain due to cold, and many other ailments.
Acetaminophen works on the part of the brain that receives pain signals by blocking those messages from being sent.
NSAIDs relieve pain by acting on the chemicals involved in inflammation. They work on special enzymes – Cox-1 and Cox-2 and reduce the production of prostaglandins, a substance created in the body that irritates nerve endings.

Another proven way to relieve pain is with cold or hot therapy.
Cold therapy is helpful in case of pain caused by swelling and inflammation as it narrows the blood vessels and reduces blood flow to the affected area. Hot therapy is beneficial for treating stiffness by increasing blood flow to loosen the muscles and joints.

TENS uses electrodes placed on the skin to administer low-voltage electrical currents. These currents activate the nerves beneath the electrodes and prevent pain signals from reaching the brain.
While TENS therapy provides quick relief from pain, the effects do not last long. Patients are sometimes required to undergo multiple therapy sessions.

By relaxing strained muscles and increasing blood flow, a massage can be a great way to relieve pain. Depending on the level of pressure applied, massages are classified into Swedish and Deep Tissue. A Swedish massage uses less pressure than a Deep Tissue massage and is mainly intended for relaxation. At the same time, deep tissue massage uses more pressure and aims at releasing muscle tension, injuries, and pain.
