 Dear Dr. Suzy,
Q.
I've been hearing alot about holistic health and holistic pain relief solutions
lately. What exactly does that mean?
A.
Put simply, the word holistic refers to seeing
things as whole, complete systems rather than as isolated, individual parts.
For example, Holistic healthcare attempts to treat both the mind and the body.
Holistic ecology views humans and the environment as a single system.
Holistic pain relief involves looking at your body and your mind and spirit as
interrelated and interconnected. Traditional pain relief solutions often
involve treating one isolated part without considering how the other systems of
the body may be affected or contributing to the cause of the pain.
For
many individuals, it sometimes seems that a big part of their lives is spent
looking for ways to relieve pain caused by inflammation, injury, arthritis,
joint problems, and other biomechanical causes. Chronic pain can be just as
disabling as acute pain because it wears the individual’s body and mind down
over time and drains one’s energy levels, making simple, everyday tasks seem
like insurmountable challenges.
Finding the cause of your pain usually takes a
great deal of research and experimentation. Knowledge truly is power,
however, and sometimes, just one simple concept can make a tremendous
difference in the level of suffering that a person goes through daily.
Fortunately, there are many holistic solutions for pain management and pain
relief available today in addition to traditional medical treatment.
Pain is often your body’s
way of getting your attention – a warning sign that something is out of
balance in your life or in your body’s natural chemistry. Learning more
about your particular condition and seeking natural, holistic, alternative
treatments for pain relief may just be the answer that you are looking for. |
