First-line treatments for chronic pain typically include a combination of medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications. Medications may include both over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription drugs, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, narcotics, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Physical therapy may include exercises, massage, and other therapies to help reduce pain and improve mobility. Lifestyle modifications may involve stress reduction techniques, such as meditation, deep breathing, and yoga, as well as diet and exercise. Additionally, certain complementary therapies, such as acupuncture, may be recommended to help manage chronic pain.
