Symptoms To Resolve - Pain

Effective pain treatment requires a clear understanding of the underlying contributors. In acute or chronic cases of musculoskeletal pain, where injury or repetitive strain lead to pain, deterioration, or injuries in our joints, ligaments, tendons, or muscles, the immediate treatment course is clear. Nonetheless, in many cases contributors that facilitated the injury or deterioration need to be ascertained, such as:
• chronic inflammation
• nutrient depletion
• energy depletion impairing our body’s ability to repair and be maintained

In treating MSK pain, our focus is on regenerative therapies to restore strength and integrity to the damaged and painful tissues. This may target ligaments, tendons, or cartilage supporting the joint. We may recommend any of the therapies listed below, and sometimes these will be combined for maximum benefit. Alongside these, supportive treatments are often helpful, particularly those that support a healing response with nutrients or energy meant to facilitate healing.
 
In other cases, pain may be of more complex origin, and while including musculoskeletal pain, may also include a variety of symptoms evident in other systems of the body, for example fatigue, brain fog, rash, etc. These are known as complex pain syndromes in which no clear origin of the condition is evident. Examples of complex pain syndromes include:
• Fibromyalgia
• Lyme disease
• Autoimmune pain
 
In treating chronic pain, our goals are to settle the nervous system by identifying and removing the underlying irritant to the nerves. Causes of chronic main may be very different between patients and a thorough history and assessment is important in developing a strategy for achieving success.
