How To Reduce Pain With Lasting Results Without Getting Addicted To Painkillers

PAIN IS INEVITABLE SUFFERING IS OPTIONAL

One in five doctor consultations involve a patient suffering from chronic pain and almost 5% report severe disabling chronic pain.

As chronic pain is an invisible symptom, sufferers can feel misunderstood and stigmatised by friends, partners, family members and even the medical profession.

PAIN

Nociceptive pain is caused by potentially harmful stimuli being detected by nociceptors.

A nociceptor ("pain receptor") is a sensory neuron that responds to damaging or potentially damaging stimuli by sending “possible threat” or “damage” signals to the spinal cord and the brain.

THERE ARE TWO MAJOR CATEGORIES OF PAIN:

Neuropathic pain which arises from damage to the nervous system itself either from infections, disease or injury.

Examples are sciatica, mechanical insults, multiple sclerosis, diabetic neuropathy, chemotherapy or alcoholism.

Very often chronic pain involves elements

of both types

THERE ARE TWO MAJOR CATEGORIES OF PAIN:

Chronic pain is most commonly associated with an inflammatory process.

These diseases can include: Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia, MS, Inflammatory bowel, Crohn’s, Stomach ulcers, Endometriosis,

Muscle pain from tension, stress, overuse or minor injuries are also associated with acute or chronic inflammation.

All doctors worldwide agree that the most important thing you can do for pain-relief is to reduce chronic inflammation.

Identifying the key drivers of inflammation is imperative. Most of them are systemic and therefore take time to address and resolve.

Typical key drivers of

inflammation are: • Dysbiosis

• Infection

• Metabolic Syndrome

• Tissue damage / injury

• Chronic stress

• Food sensitivities and allergies

• Medication / NSAIDs

• Sleep disruption

• EMFs

• Toxins / Biotoxins

• Teeth / cavitation, root canals…

When it comes to inflammatory conditions, pain undoubtedly has a huge impact on a patient’s quality of life and therefore is often a priority in treatment.

Targeting the inflammatory processes and the actual cause of them is highly important.

In other words, if you eliminate the inflammation - you can significantly reduce your pain.

Important is to take a therapeutic dose of 1500mg EPA / DHA.

Most fish oils on the market have a low EPA/DHA dosage.

OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS

The vagus nerve is the main component of the parasympathetic nervous system responsible for the fight and flight response.

If the vagus nerve isn’t working properly it leads to inflammation as well as severe chronic pain.

To reduce inflammation we have to reduce the fight and flight response. This can be accomplished by maintaining the daily habits of breathing, meditation and yoga

VAGUS NERVE STIMULATION

Using a PEMF device to stimulate the vagus nerve is very effective.

Many studies conclude that PEMF can increase both vagus nerve stimulation and reduce inflammation.

PEMF

Ozone improves rheology of red blood cell, which means it makes red blood cells more pliable and flexible ensuring that they can squeeze through capillaries.

This increases oxygen delivery to cells reducing inflammation dramatically.

Ozone improves mitochondrial uptake and therefore creates more ATP production. This not only improves overall energy levels but also improves the repair mechanism of cells.

OZONE THERAPY

Ozone increases the production of the major anti-oxidant enzyme Superoxide Dismutase helping in scavenging free radicals.

Lastly Ozone turns on the NrF2 switch and with that taking control of inflammation.

All beneficial impacts will aid in the management of pain especially if inflammation is involved.

OZONE THERAPY

Known as Curcumin is highly anti-inflammatory, helps in wound healing, tissue repair and improves heart rate variability therefore reducing pain.

A meta-analysis finds curcuminoids a safe and effective strategy to improve pain severity.

TURMERIC

A clinical trial conducted by Raychaudhuri and co-workers in India have shown that the extract of the plant, Boswellia serrata, can reduce pain and considerably improve knee-joint functions, in some cases providing relief even within seven days.

BOSWELLIA SERRATAAn old traditional Ayurvedic herb which has been proven to reduce pain and inflammation.

Magnesium reduces inflammation and pain.

A study revealed that patients with lower back pain had a significant pain reduction after 6 weeks’ magnesium therapy compared to placebo.

MAGNESIUM

Proteolytic enzymes have analgesic, effects, besides the well-known anti-inflammatory and edema-reducing properties.

These analgesic effects are based on the inhibition of inflammation and direct influences on the nociceptors (sensors of the pain pathway).
