Managing Chronic Pain Without Surgery

Apr 27, 2024 by Dr. Anuraya Mahendar

Not every pain needs surgery. A structured plan can reduce pain, restore function and improve quality of life.

Common non-surgical options

• Medication optimization and activity modification
• Physiotherapy to strengthen and improve mobility
• Injections and nerve blocks for selected conditions
• Lifestyle changes (weight, sleep, ergonomics)

When to consult

If pain lasts more than a few weeks, limits daily activity or is associated with numbness/weakness, consult a specialist for evaluation.
