HEALTH TIPS<\/em><\/h4>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n\nHere are some other strategies for managing pain:<\/strong><\/p>\n1. Prevent injuries by using common sense!<\/strong>\u00a0If you haven\u2019t exercised since we last saw sunshine, don\u2019t just start in with a full work out or a 10-mile run.\u00a0 Start slowly and build up gradually. If you have pre-exisiting injuries or health conditions, always consult your physician or qualified health care provider before starting something new.\u00a0 Be certain that you are trained in proper stretching techniques appropriate for the activity you engage in.<\/p>\n2. Stay well hydrated.<\/strong>\u00a0This is important for many different types of pain.<\/p>\n3. Heat or ice?<\/strong>\u00a0You will get a variety of answers to this question, and it is generally best to get professional advice based on your particular pain. As a general rule, Chinese medicine\u00a0favours heat. Heat opens up the channels and blood vessels and promotes movement of qi and blood, which is almost always the primary treatment principle in relieving pain. If there is redness, swelling and heat coming from the area of pain, this would be a case where ice is more appropriate at first to reduce inflammation (and also probably a sign to get checked out by a doctor).\u00a0 If your pain is worse in cold weather, heat is usually most appropriate.<\/p>\n4. Consider using other complementary techniques.<\/strong>\u00a0For chronic pain conditions, seek out meditation,\u00a0self-hypnosis, and related pain management techniques.<\/p>\n5. Watch what you eat.<\/strong>\u00a0For arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other types of chronic pain conditions, diet can play an important role.\u00a0 Seek the advice of an acupuncturist or holistic nutritionist for advice that is appropriate for your particular condition and body type.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/p>\n
