Post-surgical pain can be a common and distressing concern following surgical procedures. Effective pain management during the recovery period is crucial for a smoother and more comfortable healing process.

Key points about post-surgical pain:

• Expected Pain: It is normal to experience pain after surgery due to tissue trauma, incisions, and the body’s healing process.
• Intensity and Duration: The level of pain and its duration can vary depending on the type of surgery, individual pain tolerance, and other factors.
• Multimodal Pain Management: Comprehensive pain management approaches aim to address post-surgical pain through a combination of strategies, including medications, physical therapy, acupuncture, electromedicine, and other non-pharmacological interventions.
• Acupuncture: Acupuncture, an ancient Chinese therapy, involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to promote pain relief and healing. It can be an effective adjunctive treatment for post-surgical pain management.
• Electromedicine: Electromedicine treatments such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) can help alleviate post-surgical pain by modulating nerve signals and promoting tissue healing.
