Self Care

You have an incredible role to play in the care and management of your pain. The actions you take every day—what you eat, how you move your body, and even your feelings and beliefs—have a tremendous impact on your health.

Working with doctors and other healthcare providers is critical, but between appointments, the responsibility for improving your wellbeing and health falls to you. There are a wide variety of self-care techniques that can help you manage your pain and improve your quality of life.
