When dealing with chronic pain, it's important to remember that true healing lies in the consistent daily actions you take, rather than oneoff treatments like surgery or injections. While these may be helpful in the shortterm, focusing on habits that support a healthy environment for healing is key in the longterm. This includes prioritizing sleep, nutrition, hydration, movement, exercise, social connections, and spirituality. While incorporating therapies into your pain management plan can be beneficial, it's crucial to always keep these foundational practices in mind. As you continue to navigate chronic pain, consider how you can prioritize these daily habits.
