Pain relief
For some people, recovery from a broken bone can be a long and painful process. Sometimes pain continues even after the broken bone heals. In addition to medications, there may be other ways to help relieve the pain. Some examples are acupuncture, biofeedback and relaxation techniques. Always check with your healthcare provider about the best way to manage your pain.
