Most people first come to our office seeking help with symptoms. We take them through the Path To Health chart and begin to help them with pain relief. They have aches and pains in different parts of their bodies. So, how do we go about helping them to be relieved of pain? We determine the underlying causes of their pain.
Nearly anything can cause pain in the body. Pain is an emotional experience that is registered in the limbic portion of the brain. The limbic center of the brain is the emotional center of the brain. This is why some people have a high pain tolerance whereas other people have a low pain tolerance. Different people tolerate pain differently according to their emotional state and the way in which they experience life.
Have you ever noticed that you might have two different friends and neither one is particularly healthy and yet one always seems to have pains and aches and the other friend usually feels fine? This is due to the way in which they experience the world. Pain is a protection mechanism. Pain is your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong; something is imbalanced. Essentially, there is something that is broken and it needs to get fixed. Does that make sense?
Common causes of pain are vertebral subluxations and extremity subluxations. Vertebral subluxations are bones in the spine that become misaligned. Extremity subluxations are bones in the wrists, ankles, elbows, knees, hands, feet or other areas of the body that away from the spine and misaligned. In other words, these bones are out of position. The malposition of the bones interferes with healthy nerve function and one of the side effects is to experience pain.
Acupuncture meridian imbalances may cause pain. Pain can be caused by toxicity, toxoids and poisons. Pain is often caused by infections that leave by products that lead to pain, inflammation and swelling.
Physical injury such as a fall or a scrape can also cause pain. Cancer is a more common cause of pain than most people think.
A true PAIN RELIEF DOCTOR is a doctor that knows how to help their patients to get out of pain by addressing the underlying causes of that pain and then keep them out of pain as a result of their therapies and lifestyle suggestions and other recommendations. A real Functional Medicine Doctor that also helps with pain will help their doctors by diagnosing the cause of the pain 100% of the time. When the Master Pain Relief Doctor removes the absolute cause of the pain then their patients get well and stay well without pain, swelling, infections, irritation and all of the aggravations that goes with these types of annoyances. We have many examples of how we do this in the Patient Reviews and Patient Testimonials videos on this website. You might want to take a look by going under “Patient Reviews.”
Cocaine can help get rid of pain quite effectively. However, it is now illegal and I do not recommend it. They used to put cocaine in Coca Cola in the 1940s and early 1950s but then the government did not like the idea so they had the Coca Cola company stop. Coca Cola went from originally being a cough syrup to then being a drink to finally being a popular drink with drugs in it. Today, diet Coca Cola actually contains artificial sweeteners that are so toxic that people in the warmest states such as Arizona and New Mexico sometimes go blind from drinking the soda which has undergone chemical changes in the high heat. Aspartame and Truvia and some of the other sugar substitutes are some of the most toxic chemicals humans take into their body.
