6. Pain relief therapy – for a clinical, non-drug treatment try an at-home laser energy emitting device such as Silk’n Relief. Not only does the device begin pain relief from the very first use, but can also be used to help speed up the healing process by increasing blood circulation and collagen production to reduce inflammation and joint issues among others.
7. Diet – eating a healthy, well-balanced diet helps keep pain under control and reduces the occurrence of aggravating agents entering your system.
8. Distractions – don’t concentrate on the pain, you will be surprised how much better you will feel by just busying yourself with activities you enjoy.
9. Acupuncture –  by stimulating various points around your body you will stimulate the release of opioid peptides, which will have an analgesic effect thus reducing the pain.
10. Sleep – as mentioned above sleep is essential for feeling well in life, not only will sleep help not to feel pain, by getting enough rest the body will recharge and regenerate and be better set up to heal itself.
