Because the causes of pain are many and they are quite diverse, they should be treated only after consulting a doctor. After all, even though they can be caused by a normal draft or overvoltage, they can also refer to the symptoms of the disease. Perhaps the results of the survey will show that there is a need to turn to narrow specialists. Self-medication can lead to negative consequences. First you should visit the therapist. Then you can go to a cardiologist, a neurologist, a traumatologist, a physiotherapist, etc. If the ailment turns out to be not so serious and will not require urgent treatment, the doctors will prescribe a set of medical procedures that will help to get rid of unpleasant pains.

- physical exercises aimed at relieving strained muscles and ligaments;
- physiotherapy( ultrasound or laser treatment, electrophoresis);
- acupuncture;
- a healthy lifestyle( balanced mode, proper nutrition, exercise).
