Natural Pain Relieving Herbs Help Georgetown Pain Patients

August 08, 2017

“As treatments in medicine become more and more complex, the answer may be something simpler.” (1)

Hum. Simpler just may be an answer when it comes to pain relief for some Georgetown back pain sufferers. Chronic pain is a condition that needs some relief. (Listen in to a PODCAST with a doctor and his patient about chronic pain and how chiropractic helps.) Natural substances may offer a simpler approach for some Georgetown chronic pain, back pain, neck pain, arm pain and leg pain sufferers. Dr. Butwell is prepared to help Georgetown chiropractic care patients investigate if this may be feasible for them.

CURCUMIN 

Curcumin is possibly one natural treatment that many Georgetown pain patients have read about in the news. As a natural anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving herb, it’s shown to be quite effective for for treating chronic pain conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and cancers like colon, stomach, lung, breast and skin. Even Alzheimer’s patients discover some relief with curcumin. (1) Osteoarthritis patients are reported to respond well to curcumin, too, since osteoarthritis is a chronic inflammatory degenerative process that Dr. Butwell sees often in Georgetown chiropractic practice.

OTHER ANTI-INFLAMMATORY HERBS 

Herbs like Urtica dioica (stinging nettle), Boswellia serrata (frankincense), Equisetum arvense (horsetail), Allium sativum (garlic), and Apium graveolens (celery and marshworts) are reported to be anti-inflammatory and analgesic for pain patients as well as patients suffering with chronic musculoskeletal pain which Dr. Butwell treats daily! They decrease pain and improve mobility for chronic pain patients. One study combined all of these plus vitamin B1 and discovered that patients responded well. (3) Another report says that fish oil, curcumin, white willow bark, boswellia serrata, green tea, maritime pine bark, Resveratrol, cat’s claw, and Capsaicin are other anti-inflammatory natural agents assist in reducing inflammation and pain. (4) Dr. Butwell investigates with Georgetown chiropractic patients to determine just the right combination of natural agents like these that are effective for them and their Georgetown pain.

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT 

Some Georgetown pain patients and Georgetown inflammatory disease patients find that traditional medicines may distress their systems with undesirable side effects. Centuries-old natural approaches may be simpler, effective, and less upsetting. If you are a Georgetown pain patient exploring options of a simpler way to deal with pain, schedule an appointment with Dr. Butwell to explore how natural anti-inflammatory agents - even in combination with Georgetown chiropractic care - may be the pain relievers you need.
