New Solutions to Chronic Pain in North Portland

Mainstream medicine versus natural healthcare for treating chronic pain:

Mainstream medicine options:

• Injections
• Pain medications
• Nerve ablation
• Cord stimulator‘s
• Over the counter medication‘s

Natural therapy options:

• Chiropractic
• Acupuncture
• Rehab
• Supplements
• Prolotherapy

Natural therapies are usually a second option for chronic pain. Most patients want immediate relief and the quickest way to get immediate relief is pain medications. This is not always the best approach, since this does not treat the underlying issues only masks the pain.

Also, pain medications and other western modalities have side effects. Side effects can range from digestive issues, pain, fatigue, brain fog, and even death.

Thousands of Americans die each year from opioid pain medications, and they took the drug as directed by their medical provider. This is a massive problem in our country and a massive problem in most countries. It seems to be a bigger deal in America because we rely on pharmaceutical commercials to educate us. There are only two countries in the world where you can market pharmaceuticals on TV… And that is New Zealand and America. That’s it!

Patients in other countries are not bombarded with these commercials telling them that they need to pop a pill to feel better and live their life. This concept is a misconception and can lead to a downward spiral and a less than ideal lifestyle.

The next time you are in chronic pain, ask yourself what the underlying cause is and what are some natural safe therapies that I could utilize to get out of pain.
