I think it depends on the kind of pain it is. Are they based on previous injuries? On ergonomic or biomechanical issues? Most of my back pain was caused by a car accident. Physical Therapy and primarily yoga helped with my recovery and reduced the pain tremendously. I also developed a bit of RSI in my wrists. Some ergonomic and technique changes have helped there. There are also a lot of different Somatic practices such as the Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais Method. These and others have personally helped me use my body in more efficient and less painful manners. Another way is to take up martial arts and learn to take more control over your body, especially in the pain control area. However, that could also be a bad thing when you've broken several bones and continue training without realizing the extent of your injuries.
