Whether suffering from acute or chronic pain, we can all agree that it can be MISERABLE! Often times we find ourselves on a much larger regimen of pain relievers than we’d like to take. We may take a small dose, realize that dose isn’t working, and continue to take more. Our goal is to help you get to the root of the problem get some pain relief and remove the ‘band-aid’ approach!
While some medications may be the best temporary option, long-term consumption can cause chronic issues and lead to more serious health problems. Common conditions seen may include leaky gut, gastritis, stomach ulceration, and inability for proper absorption of nutrients.
Ways to Get Relief From Chronic Pain
Musculoskeletal, digestive, autoimmune-related, fibromyalgia, and headache pain are a few examples. Following are avenues to investigate underlying causes and find pain relief:
- Explore functional medicine – get to the root cause of your inflammation! Aside from obvious injury, pain can often be the result of a disrupted immune system. Functional medicine can help assess thyroid regulation, hormonal imbalances, and gut function/gastrointestinal system.
- Look for alternatives to pharmacological injections & invasive surgeries – These options can include natural bio-pharmaceutical injections for pain associated with muscles spasms, inflammation of the joints, and headaches. Conditions such as, osteo-arthritis of the knee, are also treated more safely and effectively than other conventional methods. The medical doctor may also prescribe chiropractic care, physical rehab as part of the patient’s integrated treatment plan.
- Decrease Stress – examples may include light exercise, meditation, or visualization.
- Address structural issues with bodywork – investigate chiropractic, acupuncture, and physical therapy for pain and tensions in your body.
- Improve your sleep – both poor and inadequate amounts of sleep can increase your perception of pain. Optimum Health Rehab can help you investigate physiological reasons why your sleep may be disrupted and offer natural treatment approaches. Visit our stress page for more explanation.
