Manage Pain Without Drugs

- Applying heat.
- Applying ice or a cold compress.
- Massaging the area.
- Getting sufficient rest.
- Using relaxation techniques.
- Using biofeedback, which teaches you how to gain partial control over certain physiological processes, including blood pressure and heart rate.
