Chronic pain can be caused by an injury or illness. Living with chronic pain can make everyday tasks difficult to complete and cause an addiction to opioids. A report has found that 21 to 29 percent of people who get opioids prescribed to them for chronic pain misuse them. If you are looking for a better way to reduce pain, try massage therapy. Getting a massage helps reduce chronic pain by improving blood circulation and healing sore muscles, thus reducing the need for painkillers.
