Abstract

Chronic pain is a complex and debilitating condition affecting millions worldwide. Traditional pain management strategies often focus on medication and invasive procedures, but growing evidence supports the role of exercise and weight loss in chronic pain control. This manuscript provides a detailed review of current literature, discussing the physiological mechanisms, benefits, and recommendations of exercise and weight loss as a strategy for chronic pain management. The aim is to highlight the potential of these non-pharmacological approaches and their integration into comprehensive pain management plans.
