When Pain Is Your Life Associate That You Cannot Run From...

Treatment of pain symptoms is one of the most expensive problems which plague the health care system. It does not differentiate by age, gender, or socioeconomic status. It is also one of the most common symptoms people seek medical professionals for. Providing options for patients to reduce pain with methods other than NSAIDs or narcotics, through patient education is important to reduce the burden on the current health care system.

 

How Do We Manage?

Pain management often has a long healing process. Naturopathic care often provides manual therapy support, in combination with nutritional advice, which decreases oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways. Used in conjunction with conventional care, it may reduce the amount of narcotics needed to manage pain in the long term.
