Musculoskeletal pain is best treated by treating its cause. This will vary depending on whether you are experiencing bone, muscle, ligament, tendon, or joint pain, or some other kind of musculoskeletal pain.
Treatments include:
Physical or occupational therapy. Using a splint to immobilize the affected joint and allow healing. Using heat or cold. Reducing workload and increasing rest. Reducing stress through relaxation and biofeedback techniques. Acupuncture or acupressure.
