Natural Pain Relief

Many people suffer with chronic pain. If you do, you have probably tried over-the-counter treatments, prescription medications, and other treatments, but the pain goes on. You may be asking if there are natural treatments for chronic pain, but lets try to understand a little something about chronic pain before we discuss treatments.

Understanding

Why is chronic pain different from acute pain? Acute pain will pass when the injury or illness that has caused it is healed. Chronic pain doesn’t. Many things can cause chronic pain— arthritis, nerve damage, back injuries, and fibromyalgia are just a few of them. Pain used to be thought of as just an effect of an underlying illness or condition, but now doctors see that chronic pain may be a condition all of its own and requires its own treatment plan. But for most getting the right treatment isn’t very easy.

Some experts feel that conventional treatments for chronic pain don’t work very well or the side effects are too severe. Opioid-based pain relievers cause constipation, drowsiness, and risks of addiction. The many varieties of NSAID pain relievers pose dangers of bleeding, stomach conditions, and heart problems.
