Chronic Pain is defined as pain that occurs frequently or persists longer than six months. It is estimated that chronic back pain affects nearly one out of ten Americans. Chronic pain has been known to disappear over time, but it can also last a lifetime as there is presently no known cures for it.
Often confused with chronic pain are the conditions acute pain and subacute pain. The distinction between these three terms is related to the length of the pain symptoms. Though not specifically defined, acute pain is generally considered to be pain that lasts for up to a month, while subacute pain lasts anywhere from one to six months.
Alternative Treatments for Chronic Pain
There are a range of alternative pain management options. Acupuncture treatment is an increasingly popular choice. Other examples of holistic and complementary therapy includes aromatherapy treatment, hydrotherapy (such as saunas), and herbal remedies.
Physical or "hands on" chronic pain treatment is available in the forms of massage (especially when the chronic pain is muscle-based), healing touch therapy, and yoga. Mind-specific treatments can include guided imagery, biofeedback, meditation, and even seeing a licensed mental health counselor.
Naturapathic treatments, which promote organic foods and exercise, are also popular, especially when combined with homeopathy, herbal therapies, and more traditional medicines.
Asian medicine has often developed chronic pain remedies through the use of Far Infrared Heat and minerals. The BioMat mattress is an increasingly popular form of this treatment approach. Made of seventeen layers - including layers of amethyst and Japanese Kureras fiber - the BioMat spurs your negative ions to increase their movement which in turn creates better circulation, stronger immunity, healthy cell growth, and overall mood enhancement.
If you suffer from severe chronic back pain, your best bet is too research and find the option that is best for you. Make sure to discuss with your doctor the best solution. Good Luck!
