Utilizing Natural Means to Treat Chronic Pain

francophonie March 21, 2023 Reader's Choice

Any discomfort or pain lasting more than 12 weeks is considered to be chronic. The limiting factors in critical areas of our lives, including work, relationships, leisure, and self-care, have been linked to chronic pain. It is also one main reason behind our trips to the doctor’s office, time away at work, mental distress, or drug addiction.

In the last few years, we’ve seen remarkable progress tracing pain back to its biological origins. There is also an increase in promising new approaches to pain management that do not rely on drugs or invasive surgery. One of these is natural medicine.

Treating Chronic Pain Naturally

The initial step for any pain management strategy should be discussing the nature and the cause of your discomfort with your physician. Once you have that discussion, you can seek out and consult with professionals about natural therapies compatible with your chosen treatment plan. Below are some of the most effective natural cures for chronic joint pains and muscles, as well as other body areas:

1. Acupuncture

Acupuncture is when tiny needles are inserted into specific body areas at different degrees and angles. According to research, each acupuncture point can affect pain sensation within specific regions in the human body.

It is a helpful treatment for various chronic pain conditions, like back, neck, and joint pain, such as osteoarthritis. Acupuncture is widely available, but it should only be performed by an expert who is both qualified and certified to do so.

2. Massage Therapy

This therapy involves the practitioner working with the patient’s muscles and other soft tissues. It is possible to relieve pain by massaging the affected area with a slow, steady circular motion using a bare hand and massage products like powder, heated oils, or hand lotion.

It not only helps to reduce muscle spasms, but it may also help you enter what is known as the “relaxation response.” This occurs when your heart and breathing rates are reduced, your blood pressure decreases, and decrease your stress levels.

Aside from massage therapy, another way to care for your body is through nutrition. To experience the benefits of CareSpace personalized nutrition, you can go to their website for booking, or you can just visit their physical clinic. 

3. Meditation

Meditative activities include taking a moment to focus on breathing or a mantra that helps to ease the mind. It’s often combined with mindfulness, the practice of being completely present in every moment.

In easing muscle tension, relaxation can ease pain and help prevent worsening. It can aid in sleep and energy levels, reduce fatigue and tiredness, ease anxiety, and increase the effectiveness of other treatments for pain.

4. Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is a great option to relieve chronic pain in many instances, mainly when discomfort results from an underlying issue such as osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, or spinal stenosis.

Chiropractors believe the body’s natural healing capabilities significantly increase when the spine is aligned correctly. This treatment aims to improve the flexibility of joints and joint functionality by using manual therapy techniques such as stretching and spine manipulation.

If you decide on chiropractic therapy and are looking for a reputable chiropractor in Waterloo, you can search the web for a list of trusted chiropractors in your area, or you can ask friends, neighbors, or family for recommendations. 

5. Physical Therapy

Evidence suggests that rehabilitation services, like physical therapy and exercise programs, can aid in managing chronic pain. These programs have been found to boost blood flow and circulation, decrease stiffness and fluid retention, and improve the affected body part’s flexibility, strength, and function.

Exercise and movement have been shown to lower stress, enhance the quality of life and sleep, and help prevent or reverse the secondary brain changes linked to chronic pain.

Once you have talked to your doctor and decided to undergo any naturopathic treatment, you can schedule a booking with our recommended Kitchener health centre through their website, phone, or physical clinic.

Conclusion

Naturopathic medicine treats the causes of pain instead of the symptoms to promote wellness and help prevent illness. Because chronic pain is complex, naturopaths can work with other health experts to help you manage it and reduce its effect on your daily life. However, seeing a doctor before starting any therapy program is still highly recommended.
