Pain Relief: Is There Any Hope?

By Genevieve Cunningham

Sometimes it feels as though we’re constantly in pain. Have you ever felt that way? You wake up in the morning with a crick in the neck. All day long, your back hurts while you’re working. When you get home, you try to unwind only to find that your head hurts. And this doesn’t include any pain that stems from injury, exercise, or excessive stress on the body. Let’s face it: Pain is exhausting! So is there anything that we can do? There might be! If you need a little hope in the form of pain relief, take a look at these tips to make it better.

Why Is There So Much Pain?

Pain can happen for a wide variety of reasons. Pain can definitely happen as a natural side effect of aging. The body becomes a little weaker, a little more tired, and pain is the result. Pain can also happen due to injury -- and it can last long after the injury heals. That’s why people with a bad knee may experience pain with a weather change. And for a growing number, pain is a direct side effect of an unhealthy lifestyle. We work, eat too much, watch too much TV, and get little in the way of movement. Of course we hurt! No matter the cause of your pain, the ultimate goal is relief, and there may be a few things you can do to make relief a constant.

How Can We Beat It?

There are many ways to alleviate pain, and it may take adding a few of these to your life to finally get the relief you need. A few ideas may include:

  • Temporary relief - Over-the-counter medication can temporarily provide relief. Heat and ice can do the same. While this won’t cure any ailments, it may be a good way to immediately get the pain under control so that you can function at a normal level.

  • Lifestyle changes - For long-term relief, you probably need to adjust your lifestyle just a little. Eat better, get more exercise, and make activity a part of your normal life. This will take time and effort, but the results will be worth it.

  • Chiropractic care - This is a great choice because it may help you find immediate relief and change your lifestyle all at the same time. Chiropractors may be able to remove joint restrictions from the body, thus alleviating pain and improving overall health. And because this is most effective when used regularly, it forces you to improve your lifestyle, even with just a simple visit to the chiropractor. If you really want pain relief, chiropractic care may be the best place to begin.
