Pain is something we all deal with — from stiff necks to sore knees, backaches to joint tension. Whether it creeps in slowly or hits all at once, pain makes life harder.

It limits your movement, affects your sleep, and slowly chips away at your energy and mood.

But here's the good news: Relief is possible — and it doesn't have to involve pills or risky procedures.

Pain is your body’s way of saying, “Something’s not right.” It could be caused by:

Muscle strain or injury
Inflammation in the joints
Poor posture or repetitive motion
Nerve irritation
Age-related wear and tear
