The primary way I deal with writer's block is to work on something else. I don't always write my chapters in sequential order or even from start to finish within the chapter! If I know other scenes or passages in the story, I'll jump to one of them and start writing. Or sometimes I'll work on another project, as I often have more than one thing going on at the same time. If neither of those work, I'll try outlining something for yet a different project, as I have several under-developed ideas floating around in my head. And if all else fails, Words With Friends anyone?
