Nonpharmacologic therapies for pain management include methods that do not involve medications. Physical therapy, heat or cold packs, and massage are all examples of such techniques. Anti-inflammatory and opioid drugs are pharmacologic methods of pain management and therefore do not fit the criteria for nonpharmacologic therapies.
