Lifestyle Changes to Support Pain Management After Calmare® Scrambler Therapy

Undergoing Calmare® Scrambler Therapy offers new hope (read more here) for relief from chronic pain, but sustaining those benefits often requires more than just the treatment itself. Incorporating supportive lifestyle changes can play a vital role in maintaining pain reduction, enhancing overall well-being, and preventing future flare-ups. Our door is always open for new and returning patients in need of Calmare® Scrambler Therapy, but we want you to stay healthy and live your best life! That’s why we have put together this list of lifestyle modifications to support your pain management journey.

Maintain an Active Lifestyle

Staying active helps improve circulation, strengthen muscles, and keep joints flexible—all of which can reduce pain and improve function. Engage in gentle activities like walking, swimming, or yoga, but always listen to your body and consult your healthcare provider before starting new exercises. We are a big fan of water aerobics, yoga, and core strengthening exercises!

Prioritize Proper Nutrition

A balanced diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods—such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and omega-3 fatty acids—can help reduce systemic inflammation. Avoid processed foods, excessive sugar, and saturated fats, which may exacerbate pain and inflammation.

Manage Stress Effectively

Chronic stress can heighten pain perception and hinder recovery. Practice stress-reducing techniques like deep breathing, meditation, vagus nerve stimulation, mindfulness, or hobbies you enjoy. Maintaining emotional well-being is a key component of pain management.

Implement Ergonomic Practices

Poor posture and improper ergonomics can contribute to muscle strain and pain. Use supportive chairs, adjust your workspace to promote good posture, and take regular breaks to stretch and move. Proper ergonomics can prevent aggravation of pain symptoms.

Incorporate Red and Infrared Light Therapy

Combining red and infrared light therapy with Calmare® Scrambler Therapy can enhance overall pain relief, accelerate recovery, and help maintain the benefits achieved from the treatment. This complementary approach is a valuable addition to your post-therapy pain management routine. We are pleased to offer these services in our office! Read more here!

Get Quality Sleep

Adequate sleep is essential for overall health and function. Establish a consistent sleep routine, create a relaxing environment, and avoid screens before bedtime. Good sleep hygiene can help reduce pain sensitivity and improve your mood.

Limit Alcohol and Tobacco Use

Both smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can impair healing, increase inflammation, and worsen chronic pain. Quitting or reducing these habits can significantly benefit your recovery and overall health.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking enough water supports nerve function and tissue health. Proper hydration can also help reduce muscle cramps and stiffness, making daily activities easier.

Regular Check-Ins with Your Healthcare Provider

Maintain ongoing communication with your Chiropractor or healthcare provider. Regular assessments and adjustments to your pain management plan ensure you stay on track and address any new issues early.

The Bottom Line

While Calmare® Scrambler Therapy can provide significant pain relief, lasting results often include making other supportive lifestyle changes and adding other complementary therapies. By adopting healthier habits, you can enhance your recovery, reduce the risk of pain recurrence, and improve your quality of life.
