Try Physical Therapy First
According to a scientific statement by the American Heart Association, doctors should refer patients with chronic pain who also are at risk of heart disease to try physical therapy before prescribing non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) except for aspirin. Read the full statement here. In addition to pain reduction, physical therapy may have other benefits, such as increased energy and improved heart and lung function, not available from prescription drugs.
