| chronic pain Why is chronic pain so important? Though, we usually don't like to experience it, pain is one of the most important ways our body's communicate with us. Pain, along with redness, swelling and heat are the signs of inflammation, they're referred to in Latin as the 4 classic signs of dolor, rubor, tumor, and calor. The pain pathway is dependent on turning the fats in cell membranes into chemical messengers and intermediates in the cycle of inflammation. Aspirin for example binds to an enzyme to ensure that the chemical intermediates are not made and thus the inflammation is checked, but not without side effects. You see the inflammatory pathway also makes chemical messengers and intermediate molecules that help with repair and one of these is prostaglandin, the good kind, that creates mucus to sooth the stomach lining. If you take aspirin longterm, the stomach lining can easily get craters called ulcers. Aspirin, ibuprofen, etc act as a temporary fix, and may cause side effects that compound the original problems. What can we do for you? At Good Natured Medicine we see that inflammation is the fundamental condition for serious health issues ranging from eczema, to osteoporosis to cancer. Our approach is simple: we address the inflammatory pathway and immune pathways. We seek to find and address the originating cause of your pain. And, we give you practical ways to reduce the mental, emotional and lifestyle impacts chronic pain can have with modalities like Craniosacral therapy, Homeopathy and Hypnotherapy. These modalities help your mind and body adjust and respond in just the right ways to the dynamics of pain by activating the parasympathetic nervous system which allows your body to enter a relax and repair mode. |
