Are there ways to manage pain naturally without drugs?
Physical therapy is very good in managing pain. That's natural. You are moving your body around. You're strengthening it. There is motion involved. There are a lot of natural supplementations that can be used. We can use anti-inflammatory herbs; things like turmeric, boswellia, and ginger. There are other natural anti-inflammatory supplements like fish oil that has a lot of omega-3 in it that reduces inflammation. Sometimes a good night's sleep will get rid of a person's pain. You ask people with chronic pain "How do you sleep?" and they say, “I don't sleep.” If you can either teach them how to sleep; teach good sleep hygiene, or maybe use a non-addictive sleep medication or a sleep supplement (because there are a lot of supplements that relax the body and allow people to sleep like magnesium, thorium, and hops) then that will allow them to manage their pain. There is just a whole array of things to use for sleep and a person is going to feel better. You have strength from the sleep, and neurotransmitters and hormones are replaced in sleep. We feel better.
