Chronic Pain can be such a Pain
Chronic pain is an issue for many people. Most of the time we just struggle through the pain, and our mind tries to block out as much as it can. But chronic pain can take away our precious energy.
What causes this low grade pain, and how do we get rid of it? This is a billion dollar question, and believe me we have every player in this game ranging from drug companies, practitioners, and food manufacturers to subtle energy practitioners.
There are many programs available these days for the treatment of chronic pain conditions. Traditional therapies include physical therapy, occupational therapy and medications. Holistic program include acupuncture, yoga, nutritional changes, and breathing exercises.
In a study conducted at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, a team of health care professionals treated chronic low back pain using naturopathic practices. The treatment included deep breathing exercises, acupuncture, and dietary supplementation such as omega 3 fatty acids, calcium, and magnesium.(1)
In the study traditional physiotherapy was used for half the test group, and the naturopathic treatment program was prescribed for the other half. The results showed that there was a greater decrease of chronic back pain in those who were treated by the naturopathic methods.
When we delve into the nutritional value of minerals such as magnesium, we find that there are over 300 body functions that are dependent on magnesium. Unfortunately half of our population is deficient in magnesium. Low magnesium levels can lead to many health issues, such as muscle cramps and chronic pain. (2)
We can take simple steps to improving our health and decreasing chronic pain. Improving our nutritional storehouse is one easy way to provide the body with the tools it needs to heal. Magnesium and other trace elements can be introduced into our system through transdermal absorption, such as a magnesium bath or magnesium oil rubbed into those aching muscles.
