8 Pill-Free Pain Remedies

8 Pill-Free Pain Remedies

The world of medicine and therapy is changing every day. Especially for those who experience illnesses or conditions that cause chronic pain in their lives. We live in the information age, a time where people have access to more information than ever before. There has been a “standard” protocol for managing pain (especially within the last 40-50 years) that has dominated the way we think about treating physical pain. This method usually involves 3 steps. 

The first is to identify the problem/source of pain; not necessarily why or how you began experiencing the pain, but only identifying what part of the body has pain.
The second step is to treat that area with the latest available medicine designed to “kill” or mask the pain.
Finally, the third step is to repeat steps one and two (indefinitely).
Immediately, you can see the problem with this methodology. There is no way someone who is dealing with chronic pain will be able to effectively treat and manage their pain with this three-step cycle because it is never-ending, provides no actual healing, and is ultimately ineffective in fully treating the patient’s ailment...

In this article, we have listed 8 popular, easy-to-do, and effective routes that many people are taking to manage their pain, and start enjoying life again.

5 Areas of the Body That Can Be Affected by Osteoarthritis

5 Areas of the body that can be affected by OsteoarthritisOsteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis and is also called Degenerative Joint Disease. This condition destroys the cartilage between your bones/joints and causes insufferable amounts of pain. The cartilage between your bones allows them to glide smoothly together when in mechanical motion. When the cartilage starts to wear down, as with those who have Osteoarthritis, the bones start to rub together. This causes friction and actually does a lot of damage to the bones themselves, as well as the muscles, nerves, tendons and other tissues in the affected area. Cartilage also helps to absorb shock when the joints are in motion. When the cartilage is worn down, it places excess traumatic impact on the bones and joints. This causes even more irreparable damage to the joints. Little pieces of bone can even start to chip away and build up in the affected area. These small fragments float around in the area and cause excruciating pain; it can feel as though ossified shrapnel is lodged inside the area. After prolonged use of the joints with Osteoarthritis, the bones start to become physically warped and misaligned. In a lot of cases, you can see the physical damage on the outside of the skin. The skin becomes twisted and the bones become knotty and deformed. There is also the possibility that small deposits of bone begin to grow on the outer edges of the bone. These are called bone spurs (or osteophytes) and they add more pain to this already horrible and debilitating disease. An estimated 27 million Americans who are 25 or older have Osteoarthritis. It becomes more common with age, however, young people are also susceptible. This typically happens from a joint injury, a malformation of the joint, or a genetic defect in the cartilage.  

When it comes to Osteoarthritis, there are 5 specific areas in the body that are susceptible to the pain and suffering of Osteoarthritis. We have provided a detailed list of these areas as well as specific treatments for those areas.

Eating Tips to Reduce Pain from Gout

Eating to Reduce Pain from GoutGout is a painful and often debilitating form of arthritis. It is caused by buildup of uric acid in the blood. This acid forms due to the breakdown of waste substances called purines in the body. These purines dissolve in your blood, are processed by the kidneys, and eventually pass through the body via urine. When excessive amounts of uric acid accumulate and the kidneys are not capable of processing it, it tends to hang around in the bloodstream and forms into razor-like crystals that collect between the spaces of the joints. For many centuries, gout has been associated with overindulgence of food such as meat and seafood, as well as alcohol. It was considered a disease that affected the wealthier people because they were the only ones who could afford such a lifestyle. Thus doctors have been treating gout by prescribing a long list of foods that a person should avoid. Today, we know much more about gout and recent research has given us a more valid approach concerning diet restrictions. While some foods should definitely be avoided, not all foods with purines should be removed from a person’s diet and certain foods should be kept in order to control the amount of uric acid in the body. There are a variety of foods that are beneficial for treating your gout. Certain foods help uric acid to properly pass through the system and/or contain anti-inflammatory ingredients which eases pain from gout. Here is a collection of foods that may help reduce the pain from gout, as well as foods in which you should avoid at all cost.
