Updated on July 20, 2015

Pain is a sign that the body uses to warn of a problem that needs attention. For those who suffer from chronic pain, there is nothing more debilitating, distressing and unpleasant feeling. Chronic pain is described as pain that persists for three months or more.

There are numerous diseases that cause chronic pain, such as musculoskeletal pains: joint and muscle pains. Even if we wish to live in pain is not easy, and while we test various physical therapies (massage, exercise, physiotherapy), the pain is still bothering us until we cannot tolerate. And while chronic pain can have many causes, there are effective treatments that can alleviate, although each treatment must be individualized. Besides that you should also consider the emotional aspect of patient suffering from pain.

How to prevent? We still know little in terms of preventing chronic pain. These are just some of the suggestions made by health professionals that could help prevent it. However, these measures have to prove scientifically. Do not wait that long too long before consulting for persistent pain. The pain may leave scars in neuronal circuits. More pain persists.

There are several types of therapies and natural remedies can also help. Among them, physical therapy, which includes stretching and strengthening activities-and low-impact aerobic exercises, such as walking, swimming, and bicycling? In that sense, occupational therapy, for example, teaches the pace you have to take and how to make common tasks in different ways. While behavioral therapy helps reduce pain by methods such as meditation and yoga to help relax the body and reduce stress. In these cases we turn to painkillers, but we cannot make them for a long time, as they have adverse effects mainly affecting our digestive tract, and can cause us gastritis, gastric ulcers even. Fortunately all is not lost.

Vitamin D has been shown to be useful in reducing this pain, and there are also natural painkillers herbal for chronic pain, which can be of great help and that we show below:

Traditionally, acupuncture is a part of traditional Chinese medicine. Like all traditional Chinese science, acupuncture is based on the use of fine needles into strategic points of the body called meridians to release the lock. Traditional Chinese Medicine suggests that diseases and conditions are due to block energy that is out of balance. The energy called chi must flow freely for us to be healthy and pain-free.
