Understanding Your Pain
When pain occurs it is showing you that somewhere in your body a problem has surfaced. People shrug pain off everyday thinking it will work its way out, but that may not be the case. You might need to seek professional help to correct and maintain the problem.
There are two types of pain:
Acute Pain
This pain warns you that you’ve been injured. It is new to the body and can be caused by a sprain, cut, broken bone etc. The pain can be mild to severe and will usually subside with healing.
Chronic Pain
This pain is different and can last weeks, months or even years. It sometimes comes and goes and might be accompanied by insomnia, exhaustion, even weight change and can last up to six months or more. Many look to prescription painkillers to alienate the symptoms. Taking Western Medication seems like the right thing to do. After all, we are bombarded with pharmaceutical advertisements that seem to have a patent on our entire body. They often come with side effects and can have issues if taking it with other prescriptions.
At Natural Medicine Center we can help with homeopathic options that you may leverage along with the prescriptions with little to no chance of additional side effects. Thinking that it will just go away is a common mistake. The cause of pain can be complex and often require a multi-approach that might include:
- Homeopathic herbal remedies
- Dietary supplements
- Prescription drug evaluation consultation
- Thyroid Function testing and therapies
- Hormone testing and therapies
- Nutritional Counseling
- Acupuncture
- Massage Therapy
Our goal is to assist you to become healthy naturally and hopefully wean off pharmaceuticals where possible. Quite often painkillers will only mask the cause of the problem by reducing the amount of pain. Doesn’t it make more sense to find the true cause of the pain and treat it directly?
Natural Medicine Center is uniquely equipped to help determine and treat your symptoms of chronic pain. Please schedule an appointment with one our doctors today and we will help you get the energy back in your life!
