In bone, joint and muscle pain it is important to find the underlying cause which could be one of many. Treatment is based on addressing the cause and managing pain.

A multimodal approach to pain management is essential, which includes medication, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, lifestyle modification, orthotics, and other interventions. 

In managing chronic pain there is evidence that alternative medication such as acupuncture, chiropractic and ayurvedic remedies might play a role. However it is important to rule out dangerous conditions such as tumours and infections before commencing any treatment for pain.
