Treatment For Pain
Naturopathic approaches to pain management utilize natural treatments that are safe and effective with minimal side effects.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture can aid in alleviating pain through the enhancement of blood flow, the stimulation of endorphin release, and the interruption of pain signals. This procedure, which is both pain-free and calming, has the potential to offer enduring relief from pain. It poses no risk of conflicting with other medications and has minimal side effects.
Cupping
Cupping is an ancient technique that uses suction to increase circulation and loosen muscle and other tissue fibres.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a form of heat therapy that has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries to induce circulation and endorphins release. I often like to pre-treat a patient with Moxa before acupuncture. It is a really great way to bring blood flow to hypoxic tissue so that it will respond to other therapies much more effectively.
Laser
Laser therapy causes a release of Nitric Oxide that helps to dilate blood vessels and increase circulation. Increases in circulation allow for quicker healing of damaged tissue and flushing out of inflammatory compounds. Laser therapy is a great component of an injury recovery protocol.
Diet and Nutraceuticals
Establishing strong fundamentals for health and recovery is pivotal in reducing the experience of pain and allowing for a quick recovery/resolution of symptoms. New patients will receive a detailed protocol that includes supplements, diet guides, exercise tips, and requisitions for investigative tests. A holistic approach is the best chance for a speedy recovery.
Cannabinoid Therapy
Cannabis, gaining wider acceptance in today’s society, is increasingly utilized as a therapeutic agent for various health conditions. As a plant abundant in healing compounds, it serves as an effective remedy for pain management. While cannabis is generally considered safe for use in managing pain, it is crucial for patients to be informed about certain contraindications and interactions that may exist.
Intravenous Therapy
IV therapy is a way to quickly and safely replenish the body’s vital nutrients and co-factors. IV therapy has been found to be helpful in treating chronic pain conditions.
There are a variety of safe and effective solutions for pain that don’t involve pharmaceuticals.
