Our approach to treating Pain
Managing pain remains a constant challenge for healthcare providers, especially with respect to safe and natural pain control. Many medications have unwanted side-effects, can become addictive and often deal with the symptoms rather than the cause.
The British Medical Journal’s Clinical Evidence of systematic reviews and clinical trials of commonly used treatments (medication, operations etc) for all types of conditions shows poor therapeutic performance. Their research (2008) showed that only 13% of treatments are rated as beneficial, 23% likely to beneficial, while nearly half (46%) have unknown effectiveness and 10% unlikely to be beneficial or even harmful. But Traditional Chinese Medicine and SCENAR therapy offer a safe approach.
Pain is associated with actual or potential tissue damage. It many arise from an accident or injury, cancer, arthritis, or a multitude of physical ailments and even emotional distress. It has been observed that feelings of frustration, anger and fear make pain more intense and difficult to treat. No matter what the cause, pain, especially chronic pain, transcends simply physical hurt. It limits the activities of everyday living and can erode the sufferer’s ability to function.
Traditional Chinese Medicines offers many tools for treating pain including:
- Acupuncture
- Cupping
- Guasha
- Moxa
- Massage
- Herbs and Liniments
Our approach also incorporates the most technically advanced pain relief system called Scenar Therapy. An approach which can powerfully and safely stimulate your body’s own natural pain-relieving systems, bringing fast relief, sometimes in minutes. Read more about Scenar Therapy. You can choose to have SCENAR therapy only instead of acupuncture.
