There is a lot of people who suffer from chronic pain and they will at point be wanting to get treatment to at least reduce the pain. There is a vast array of different chronic pain solutions and these include holistic therapies.

Some people find a change in diet can have a positive impact on their pain. Reducing inflammation is one of the best ways to deal with the pain. Foods such as whole brown rice, cinnamon, ginger, walnuts, turmeric and flax seeds oil can help to reduce inflammation. Foods that include an ingredient known as quercetin can help to reduce inflammation and these foods can also work as antihistimine, which means that they will be able to help you deal with allergies.

There is some anti-inflammatory drinks that you can try as well and these include chamomile tea, decaffeinated chai tea, chrysanthemum and ginger tea, carrot and ginger juice and also decaffeinated green tea. Camomile tea is also very good for soothing nerves and it is best brewed for between ten and fifteen minutes as this will help to maximise its ability to help. These beverages are also good for detoxing the body.

There are some food items that have the ability to aggreviate the pain and these are best avoided. Foods that you should avoid or at least eat in small quantities includes rice flour, white flour and white sugar potatoes. Spicy foods are also best avoided as they can make the pain worse. Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats are best avoided for kept to a minimum as well.

Some chronic pain tends to respond very well to acupressure and medical energy work. Acupressure is a gentle method that comes from Chinese medicine and it does not require the use of needles.

Acupressure stimulates certain parts of the body in an effort to encourage the body to stimulate the endorphins within the body. Endorphins are natural chemicals that work within the body in an effort to reduce the pain. Research on acupressure has found that it is very good for reducing and in some cases treating chronic pain that people have in their lower back.

Some of the techniques that are used in acupuncture are very similar to the ones that are used in western massage techniques such as shiatsu and this involves manipulating the tissues. There is some holistic practitioners who will use a number of different techniques in the hope of maximising the effectiveness of the treatment. The method known as acupressure is not a very invasive process and it will not in any way aggregate the pain

If you are not keen on holistic therapies as a way to deal with the pain then there is also a number of medical treatments that are available. It is best to look into the different options that are available and decide what you would prefer to try. Mediation is another treatment that may be worth considering when you are tyring to ease the amount of pain that you are in. It will take time to find the treatment that works best for you and you will need to persevere.
