Help for Chronic Pain, Arthritis, Lupis, and Other Chronic Pain Conditions
In the conventional model of care, if you complain of pain, you will typically be given pharmaceutical drugs to manage your condition. These medications do not address the underlying reason why you have developed headaches, aching joints, or all-over tenderness – they simply manage the symptoms.
If the initial round of medications don’t give you much relief, you are given more drugs or sent off to physical therapy or the chiropractor. If the new medication and other modalities don’t work, depending on your condition, you may be looking at surgery. If surgery doesn’t fix the problem, then you’re stuck!
If you have fibromyalgia or Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, your MRI, X-rays, and blood work may come back as “normal.” Pain medication may help, but again – it won’t address the underlying reason why you feel so terrible in the first place.
For conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, where your pain is autoimmune based, the conventional model of care will treat your condition with steroids. Again, this does not address why your body is attacking its own tissue and joints to begin with and will do nothing to prevent the development of future autoimmune issues within your body.
At the Holistic Wellness Center, we take a functional wellness view of chronic pain conditions, looking at the complex ways genetics, the environment, and lifestyle factors influence overall health.
Things we look at when addressing the root cause of chronic pain conditions include: underlying hormone imbalances (most notably thyroid issues), autoimmunity, poor detoxification, liver stagnation, underlying chronic infections, systemic inflammation, food sensitivities and more. We also consider structural abnormalities, congenital abnormalities, lifestyle choices, and stress management.
