According to the CDC, 20.4% of adults in America suffer from chronic pain. 35% of those adults have been experiencing severe pain that they have to limit their work or life activities. Chronic pain can cause a severe impact in someone's life.
Majority of individuals who deal with chronic conditions have tried a variety of treatments. Some will find the relief they are looking for, while some might not have the same luck. It is imperative to recognize that there is not a standard approach to treat pain that will work for everyone.
Recently, the medical community has seen stronger evidence of the benefits of holistic care. These include acupuncture, chiropractic care, nutritional supplementation and massage to name a few.
These are a few benefits of holistic care for pain management:
It can often work when more traditional treatments have failed.
It is designed to work with your body's internal functioning triggering self healing, reducing side effects.
It can reduce dependency on pain medication which can cause or increase risk of addiction.
Treatment is tailored to your condition and needs!!!
The goal of holistic approach is to promote the body's ability to heal by also encouraging better nutrition, sleeping patterns, exercises, stress reducing techniques and more. It is ideal to recognize the person as a whole, not only the area of complaint.
When dealing with your health properly, you are creating a space for healing giving your mental, emotional and physical health the energy and the support it needs to perform your daily activities with more ease. It is never too late to take action.
