Natural Pain Relieving Herbs Help Elgin Pain Patients

August 08, 2017

“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 Elgin 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 Elgin chronic pain, back pain, neck pain, arm pain and leg pain sufferers. Connected Chiropractic is prepared to help Elgin chiropractic care patients investigate if this may be possible for them.

CURCUMIN 

Curcumin is surely one natural treatment that many Elgin pain patients have read about in the news. As a natural anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving herb, it’s shown to be quite useful 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 reportedly respond well to curcumin, too, since osteoarthritis is a chronic inflammatory degenerative process that Connected Chiropractic sees often in Elgin chiropractic practice.

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 written to be anti-inflammatory and analgesic for pain patients as well as patients suffering with chronic musculoskeletal pain which Connected Chiropractic sees a lot! They reduce 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 are helpful in decreasing inflammation and pain. (4) Connected Chiropractic investigates with Elgin chiropractic patients to find just the right mix of natural agents like these that are effective for them and their Elgin pain.
