“As treatments in medicine become more and more complex, the
answer may be something simpler.” (1)
Wow. Simpler just may be an answer when it comes
to pain relief for some McHenry 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
McHenry chronic pain, back pain, neck pain, arm pain and leg pain
sufferers. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is ready
to help McHenry chiropractic care patients investigate
if this may be feasible for them.
CURCUMIN
Curcumin is possibly one natural
treatment that many McHenry pain patients have heard
about in the news. As a natural anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving herb, it is 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 obtain some relief with curcumin. (1) Osteoarthritis
patients reportedly respond well to curcumin, too, since
osteoarthritis is a chronic inflammatory degenerative process that
OrthoIllinois Chiropractic sees often in McHenry 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 including
patients dealing with chronic musculoskeletal pain which
OrthoIllinois Chiropractic sees a lot! They decrease pain
and improve mobility for chronic pain patients. One study mixed
all of these plus vitamin B1 and found that patients responded
well. (3) Another report shares 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 assist in reducing inflammation and
pain. (4) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic investigates with McHenry
chiropractic patients to find just the right
mix of natural agents like these that are
effective for them and their McHenry pain.
MAKE AN APPOINTMENT
Some McHenry pain patients and McHenry
inflammatory disease patients know that traditional medicines may upset
their systems with undesirable side effects. Centuries-old
natural approaches may be simpler, effective, and less upsetting.

anti-inflammatory agents - even in combination with McHenry chiropractic care - may be pain relieving
