• Infliximab (Remicade)
• Golimumab (Simponi)
• Certolizumab pegol (Cimzia)
• Adalimumab (Humira) While seeking new treatment options, you might consider complementary approaches to help manage pain alongside your medical treatment:

Mindfulness and meditation techniques
Massage therapy
• Acupuncture
• CBD products (where legal)
• Hot therapy
• Gentle exercise

Remember that any complementary treatments should be discussed with your healthcare team and used in addition to, not instead of, your prescribed medications.
