10 Nov How to Start Managing Chronic Pain in 2026
A new year is a great time to take control of your health, especially if you have been living with chronic pain. Pain can affect your sleep, mood, work, and daily activities. The good news is that you do not have to face it alone. At Principal Spine, we offer treatments and support that help you manage pain in a safe and effective way.
If you want 2026 to be the year you finally feel better, here are simple steps and services that can help you get started.
Get the Right Diagnosis From a Pain Specialist
Many people live with pain for months or even years without knowing the real cause. Pain can come from arthritis, sciatica, nerve damage, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, SI joint problems, facet joint issues, or inflammation.
At Principal Spine, we begin with a full evaluation to understand exactly where your pain is coming from. This may include:
- A physical exam
- A review of your symptoms and history
- Imaging if needed
- Diagnostic nerve blocks to pinpoint the source of pain
Getting the right diagnosis leads to the right treatment plan, which means better results and faster relief.
Explore Advanced Treatments That Fit Your Needs
Managing chronic pain is not a one-size-fits-all process. That is why we offer a wide range of services designed to target pain at the source. Your plan may include:
Reduce inflammation and calm irritated nerves in the spine.
Relieve pain caused by arthritis or joint damage.
Help with pain in the lower back, hips, and buttocks.
Supports your body’s natural healing process for joint or soft tissue pain.
A device option for severe or long-lasting pain when other treatments have not helped.
Each treatment is personalized based on your condition, goals, and lifestyle.
Build Healthy Daily Habits That Support Treatment
Your treatment plan works even better when combined with simple daily habits. A few helpful steps include:
- Gentle stretching
- Short daily walks
- Staying hydrated
- Improving posture
- Practicing breathing exercises to reduce stress
These small changes support your treatment plan and help your body move and heal better.
