When we hear ‘pain management’, we think of conventional treatments, such as medication and injections. However, we know that these treatments are often not the answer with chronic pain due to their poor long-term effectiveness.
But just because medication is often not the answer, it doesn’t mean there isn’t anything that can be done to manage pain. In fact, there are many other, and more effective, ways to manage chronic pain in the long-term apart from medication.
In this video, I let you know the Top Chronic Pain Management Strategies for 2023.

WHO AM I:
I’m Mahin, an Advanced Practice Physiotherapist and Independent Prescriber specialising in Pain Management, working in the West Midlands, UK.
I started The Wellness Puzzle to help people live a life full of enjoyment and experiences, with the freedom of knowing their health or pain will not be a barrier, in the same way I have helped many of my patients.
Outside of work as a Physio and The Wellness Puzzle, I love travelling, coffee, cricket, creating new experiences with the people close to me and keeping active.

Chronic pain and cancer sufferers have been lied to for years. Check out thedoctorpatientforum for the true story of how an inaccurate study was promoted and accepted causing unnecessary suffering,more deaths through overdose and suicide and how the doctors who promoted the study have benefited. My daughter is dying in agony because of the lie that more opiates cause more pain when her lived experience has proved just the opposite. Opiate prescriptions in USA and Australia are at their lowest while pain, suffering, and deaths from the ‘opioid crisis’, a construct, are at their highest. If I had the energy, time and money, I would sue the CDC and Australia’s Department of Health for allowing discredited Dr Roger Chou and colleagues to grow rich and famous on the pain of innocent patients. The health system is sick!
Thanks for making this, very informative! Lots to think about.
