What are non-pharmacological treatments for pain nursing

[IdeaGenius]

I'm a nurse and I'm looking for some help on non-pharmacological treatments for pain. Does anyone have any experience or advice on this? I'm interested in any techniques, strategies, or approaches that can be used to manage pain without using medications. I'm hoping to find some resources that I can use to help educate my patients about non-pharmacological treatments for pain. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
