Healthy lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, and getting enough sleep can help manage pain. For example, physical activity can relieve headaches, prevent low back pain, and increase the range of motion of arthritic joints. Although taken without a prescription, checking with a healthcare provider is important to avoid interactions between an OTC and any prescription medications which may be taken. The brochure offers a helpful chart called, Six Steps to Safer OTC Drug Use. The brochure lists 13 other national organizations which offer information about managing pain.
