Natural Solutions for Chronic Pain

There are a few different things wrong with the common painkillers prescribed to chronic pain sufferers each year. The first is that not every person responds to pain medication the same. This means that some people may experience pain relief, others may experience nothing, and still others will experience mild to grave side effects.

Other issues with pain medications are that they can cause habit-forming addictions. Most pain medications will relieve pain temporarily, however the true source and cause of pain is never addressed. For example, if you had a nail in your head, you wouldn't just take pain medication and hope the pain goes away. You would go to the hospital to get the nail taken out of your head.

Here are a few more natural effective pain relievers for those who suffer from chronic pain. These pain relievers are more effective because some of them actually address the "nail in the head" issue instead of just the pain.

Exercise

The suggestion to exercise regularly will never go away. It is an effective way to lose weight, improve health, and keep chronic pain in check. Our bodies are made for motion, which is why exercise is so essential in our sedentary world.

Exercise helps the body produce natural painkillers and can make the body more resilient to pain. Regular exercise also helps tone the body, which can lead to a stronger and leaner body, which is less likely to have pain.

Fish Oil

Fish oil is great for many different uses, especially for reducing you inflammation and pain. One study followed 125 patients who suffered from neck or back pain. They were all instructed to take 1200 milligrams of fish oil supplements a day. After 75 days of taking fish oil, more than half of the patients reported that they were able to stop their prescription pain medications.

Chiropractic Care

Regular chiropractic care should not be ignored since it gets to the root of many pain problems. Wellness adjustments can correct any subluxations, or misalignments, in the spine. This means that not only will you get pain relief quickly, but the pain issue will be fixed. Depending on the severity of the pain or the type of pain, it may take several chiropractic care visits to truly fix the problem. Other chronic pain issues, such as arthritis, may never fully improve with regular chiropractic care, but they will certainly decrease.
