HERE'S WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW...
3 Misconceptions About Chronic Pain
"Pain Means Harm Or Tissue Damage"
Could Your Pain Be Indicative Of Some Damage To The Structure?
While acute pain protects us from harm and that’s what it’s for (e.g. your body telling you to take your hand out of the fire), chronic pain is an entirely different beast. It isn’t always a sign that something’s wrong with a part of the body or that we should stop what we’re doing. It is part of an overprotective nervous and immune system and this should make us look wider for a different set of causes. The good news is we can unlearn and retrain it and calm down the hypersensitive system by addressing and treating those root causes.
"You Can't Do Anything About Pain"
Is Your Specialist Surgeon Or GP Right?
There is this assumption that scans will show the pain source and that ageing will result in worsening pain. That’s not true at all! There are numerous lifestyle medicine and integrative approaches that have shown significant effectiveness in treating pain. These methods address underlying aspects that impact whole person health, offering more than just temporary relief but aiming for long-term healing and restoration of function. It's important to explore these options, as they can open doors to improved mobility and pain reduction that traditional methods might not offer.
"Drugs & Surgery Are The Only Options"
What Non-Surgical Options Should You Consider?
A prevalent misconception is that strong medications and surgery are the only viable treatments for debilitating pain. However, this overlooks the effectiveness of so many non-surgical ways to treat and overcome chronic pain. These innovative methods, focusing on healing and restoring the nervous and immune system function, offer effective relief without the need for invasive procedures – which is why so many of our patients partner with our team of specialists.
