Has anyone ever had pain that prescription and over-the-counter medicines didn't control well? Most people have suffered through recurring pain. Sometimes the most effective pain reliever carries side effects that doctors will discourage a person from using on a regular basis. I want to write a research paper on using alternative medicine to control the pain and thus avoiding the unwanted side effects of standard medicine.
My dad sustained a lower back injury at the Battle of the Bulge during World War II and suffered from recurring back pain. The best medicine he found was a visit to the chiropractor and buffered aspirin daily, so as a child and early teen, my thoughts were to become a chiropractor. I had witnessed that what we now call alternative medicine really worked.
Science keeps improving and discovering, thus a person has many choices for care of pain relief. I am currently reading on trigger point therapy, biofeedback, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and cognitive behavioral therapy for chronic pain relief. If anyone has personal knowledge that they would share, please do so.
