Experiencing any condition that involves
chronic pain can be a life-changing event. As the patient, you recall
your blissful pain-free life with a real sense of longing. As the
significant other of someone in pain, you stand by helplessly, wanting
to do something (anything!) to relieve the suffering. Interestingly,
although there are excellent analgesics (pain relievers) available
by prescription, there are also plenty of ways a patient can treat
his or her own pain, safely, naturally and effectively.
Rather than increasing your prescription, first try nutritional
supplements. And then consider alternative therapies, such as acupuncture
or a manipulative modality such as chiropractic or craniosacral
therapy, all proven pain relievers. Another good option is to visit
a pain clinic, where specialists are usually successful at bringing
symptoms under control in a few visits.
Chronic pain requires you to be a proactive patient. At WholeHealth
Chicago, we suggest that you explore a number of options.
