Chronic Pain

Ashira R asked:




Any one who has chronic pain, regardless of its physical source, feels alone and helpless. For most chronic pain sufferers there is no cure or even any effective medical treatment to relieve the suffering. Most of us turn to alternative ways to dig ourselves out of the deep dark hole chronic pain puts us in. Turning to spiritual ways to discover not only ways to cope and get through each day, but also ways to nurture ourselves and find an inner source of peace and comfort amidst the pain.

Finding a place of perpetual quiet

When a person with chronic pain searches for peace within the calamity, it is not always easy to find it. It is possible, however, with practice. Finding a place where the external noises of everyday life are hushed and allowing yourself to just be for 10 minutes a day is a start. In a household full with activity, I have found using ear plugs for my ten minutes of complete silence works wonders.

Breathing

When a healer explained what true breathing was, I was amazed at how little I knew about the simple physical act of breathing. Breathing can be a tool to move pain, negative thoughts completely from our bodies through exhaling. It can also bring positive, calming thoughts within during inhaling. Closing my eyes when a deep aching pain is troubling me, concentrating on each breath to blow out the sensation of pain and breath in the calmness does not take away the pain. It does however, enable me to cope with the pain without having the impending helplessness feeling overwhelming me.

Melodies of Nature

I never realized the effect of melodies until I began to change what I listened to. A simple melody that has helped me many days, is the melody of nature. When I am able to hear it outside from my swing, I often find myself becoming lost in the birds songs. When the weather does not permit the outdoor songs, the nature discs available now are a nice replacement. The simple melody can carry you away to a calmer place.

Laughter is Medicine for the Heart

Suffering with chronic pain is not humorous, however, the act of laughing can lift you. It can cleanse pain from us and release chemicals in the mind that natural lift our spirits. Laughter is truly a medicine for the heart and soul.

Chronic pain and arthritis has plagued millions of people with its long-term physical and emotional pain. Depending on the degree of pain, different types of pain relief treatment are administered, ranging from paracetamol to morphine, from antidepressants to therapies.

There are also available ways to obtain natural chronic pain relief that a sufferer can try. Acupuncture, acupressure, behavioral therapy, chiropractic, massage therapy, and phototherapy are examples of alternative therapy that works for most patients. Since pressure points are targeted by acupuncture (through needles) and acupressure (through hands), the body releases life energy or qi to help the body heal and ease discomforts.

Chiropractic can help the spine as well as other body structures to relieve low back pains and even headaches while the same is true for massage therapy and phototherapy although they are different in methods. A good percentage of the pain is caused by the self- perception of a patient’s condition, so doctors have recommended behavioral therapy to conquer the pain that the mind is inflicted with.

Exercises that are too strenuous will only increase your pain so opt for mild ones, such as stretching or the body alignment exercise which only takes about a minute to perform.

Heat or cold is administered depending on the doctor’s analysis on the type of arthritis of the patient, as well as ice packs on top of the affected area can ease the soreness and is effective but should not be done by patients with poor circulation.

Proper diet, as instructed by a medical expert, can also help alleviate the pain. Although relief may sometimes seem impossible for people with chronic pain, by observing the doctor’s or therapist’s instructions, you can cope with your arthritis condition a lot better.

There are now also natural chronic pain relief supplements that can help relieve pain and arthritis symptoms and can help with arthritis relief in the long term.

Therapeutic massage could definitely be a magic cure for your chronic back pain.

Some of the causes for your back pain are internal, meaning there are reasons inside your structure that can cause the pain in your back. These reasons include leg or hip bones that actually have different measurements on each side. Or, the muscles that run from your thigh bones and hip bones to your spine have become tight. These muscles then pull on your back from inside.

There are also external causes for backaches and pain. These outside causes usually include poor posture, both sitting and standing. They might also include carrying a heavy bag or purse or carrying your wallet in your back pocket. (How simple is that to correct?!)

Poor posture puts a great deal of strain on the muscles of your back, and is a primary cause for chronic back pain.

Chronic muscular back pain starts out involving just the muscles in a certain area. Soon, your whole body gets into the act because all the muscles act together as a unit. While we have individual muscles, for sure, each one acts and reacts with its’ neighbors. Eventually your whole body can experience pain which started in just one area.

Here’s an example. You injure your low back in a fall. Several months later, your neck also starts to hurt. Pain has moved through your muscular system.

A chain reaction is occurring.

So, where does massage therapy come into play for treating chronic back pain?

When massage stops the chain reaction, it can reduce or eliminate chronic pain in your back.

Sometimes it is appropriate for a massage therapist to work only on your back muscles. But with chronic pain, the massage practitioner needs to look for and treat the muscles or situations that are the cause of your pain.

“Regular massage” or relaxation massage may feel pleasant for an hour, but probably won’t make any difference for chronic back pain. You most likely need something deeper and more specific to your problem area(s.)

Often the muscles causing your pain are not the ones you would expect. They may be higher or lower on your body. Interestingly, your abdomen is the “front of your back” and has muscles that may be the primary cause of chronic back pain.
