At Informatix Health, we understand that many veterans live with chronic pain. Whether it’s from an old injury, surgery, or a long-term health condition, pain can affect your ability to enjoy life and do the things you love.
The good news is: you don’t have to suffer in silence. There are several ways to manage chronic pain, and we’re here to help you explore your options.
What Is Chronic Pain?
Treatment Options for Veterans
Every veteran is different, so pain management should be personalized. Here are some common options:
1. Medication (with supervision)
Pain medications can help, especially when managed carefully by a doctor. This may include:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs (like ibuprofen)
- Muscle relaxants
- Nerve pain medications
- Opioids (only when necessary and closely monitored)
Always speak with your provider before starting or changing medications.
2. Physical Therapy
Physical therapy helps build strength, improve movement, and reduce pain. A licensed therapist can guide you through gentle exercises tailored to your condition.
3. Mental Health Support
Chronic pain often affects mental health. Talking to a counselor or therapist can help you cope with stress, depression, or anxiety caused by pain.
Veterans dealing with PTSD may benefit from trauma-informed therapy alongside their pain treatment.
4. Alternative Therapies
Some veterans find relief through:
- Acupuncture
- Massage therapy
- Yoga and stretching
- Meditation and breathing exercises
These methods can help relax the body and mind.
5. Home Health Services
Veterans who need help at home can benefit from skilled care. At Informatix Health, we offer:
- Nursing visits to help with medications and wound care
