Balancing neuromodulation with traditional healthcare practices is important when addressing chronic pain because it allows for a comprehensive and holistic approach to pain management. Traditional healthcare practices, such as medication, physical therapy and counselling, provide a well-established foundation for managing chronic pain. They address underlying causes, manage symptoms and provide emotional support. Neuromodulation techniques, on the other hand, may potentially offer additional options for pain relief. By combining traditional healthcare practices with neuromodulation, individuals may benefit from a personalised and integrated approach that maximises pain management strategies.
