Arachnoiditis-Its Causes, Symptoms, Types And Treatment

Physical Therapy

Quite a number of physical therapy techniques may assist in easing the pain and prevent further damage. Exercise therapy helps to strengthen the muscles and to manage the pain. Massage may relief muscle tension causing pain, while water therapy temporarily relieves nerve pain. For temporary relieving of inflammation, hot and cold patches are used. Pain medications like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), steroid drugs, and narcotic pain medications, such as opioids are also commonly used.
