“As treatments in medicine become more and more complex, the
answer may be something simpler.” (1)
Hum. Simpler just may be an answer when it comes
to pain relief for some West Des Moines back pain sufferers. Chronic pain is
one condition that necessitates some relief. (Listen in to a PODCAST with a doctor and his patient about chronic pain and how chiropractic helps.) Natural substances may offer a simpler approach for some
West Des Moines chronic pain, back pain, neck pain, arm pain and leg pain
sufferers. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is prepared
to assist West Des Moines chiropractic care patients explore
if this may be possible for them.
CURCUMIN
Curcumin is surely one natural
treatment that many West Des Moines pain patients have read
about in the news. As a natural anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving herb, it’s shown
to be quite helpful in for treating
chronic pain conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease,
and cancers like colon, stomach, lung, breast and skin. Even Alzheimer’s
patients realize some relief with curcumin. (1) Osteoarthritis
patients are reported to respond well to curcumin, too, since
osteoarthritis is a chronic inflammatory degenerative process that
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa witnesses often in West Des Moines chiropractic
practice. (2)
OTHER ANTI-INFLAMMATORY HERBS
Herbs like Urtica dioica (stinging nettle), Boswellia
serrata (frankincense), Equisetum arvense (horsetail), Allium sativum (garlic),
and Apium graveolens (celery and marshworts) are reported
to be anti-inflammatory and analgesic for pain patients as well as
patients dealing with chronic musculoskeletal pain which
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa sees a lot! They reduce pain
and improve mobility for chronic pain patients. One study combined
all of these plus vitamin B1 and found that patients responded
well. (3) Another report says that fish oil, curcumin,
white willow bark, boswellia serrata, green tea, maritime pine bark,
Resveratrol, cat’s claw, and Capsaicin are other anti-inflammatory natural
agents are helpful in decreasing inflammation and
pain. (4) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa investigates with West Des Moines
