What can be done if someone has pain for a long time and they’ve seen multiple specialists? 

They’ve  seen their primary care doctor, and seen a nerve doctor (neurology) and a pain doctor and it’s helped a little but not enough. .  Are there any options left?

I would say “Yes!   Integrative medicine meaning medicine that combines the best of different types of medicines around the world can deal with the causes of long lasting pain.

 

 

chronic pain can be treated

Chronic Pain Being Treated

The athletic  lady had bothersome headaches for 40 years. In the last year she had pains in her hips which goes down the center of her thighs to her legs. She tried lots of therapies including three kinds of physical therapy, medications, and specialized PRP injections into her hips. Those therapies didn’t help at all.

When she saw me, I did  neural therapy on  her areas that were injured which helped the pain a bit. The neural therapy was repeated which increased the pain in some areas but decreased the pain in other areas so that she could sleep more comfortably. It seemed she had an infection causing her pain.

She was started on a herbal remedy to treat the infection. She responded to the remedy and she felt like there was a  “light at the end of the tunnel.”

She had pain which affected her quality of life for one year DESPITE all the different medical treatment that had been done. But then she saw someone who thought differently. 

Someone who looked at her story trying to find out the whats and whys  of  how her body wasn’’t working right.

From pain that had been going on for ONE YEAR which affected her sleep to more restful sleep as the pain was going away. The nervous system was treated with an effective therapy and an infection was found which hadn’t been thought of before. 

Chronic pain can be treated. There are causes of long lasting pain if you look for them. Just because someone has seen all the specialists available on their health plan doesn’t mean nothing else can be done.

There are other options such as seeing an integrative medical doctor who can view pain in a different way.
