The symptoms and pain of physical ailments are usually indications that something is wrong.
Unfortunately, the typical path of treatment is to medicate the symptoms without further investigation into what the body is trying to tell us. That is like shutting off a fire alarm rather than addressing the fire. A number of people going through our Center found that once they eliminated inflammatory foods, remarkably, they found pain relief and, in doing so, avoided scheduled surgeries and were able to get off of pain medications. This is one of many simple, straightforward solutions to very complicated physical manifestations.

Arthritis
It is thought that before the turn of the century, arthritis was relatively unknown. Many African Americans now have been diagnosed with arthritis, yet in the 1950’s, not a single case of arthritis was to be found in Africa. Since arthritis is THE most common cause of disability in the US today, whether rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis of the knees, or indeed any arthritic joint, this is a major concern for many people, across the genders, and across all ethnicities. Doctors are reluctant to admit that “there is no cure” and with this lack of treatment options, the problem is spiraling to unheard-of proportions. Some agencies predict by 2030 that one in three will be diagnosed with arthritis symptoms of some form of arthritis. The drugs that are prescribed do not cure, and sometimes even complicate the problem.

The good news is that some remarkable arthritis treatment research has been done by some leading physicians, with amazing results. For instance, the condition known as “leaky gut” ( undesirable permeability of the intestinal walls ) has been pointed to as being a potential factor in this condition. This condition allows toxins and undesirable waste products to re-enter the system, causing inflammation and other symptoms, some of which are called “arthritis.” Therefore it is expedient to remove toxins from the body and to reform one’s diet to foods that do not promote leaky gut and support the healing process. Parasites, food allergies and toxic environments, as well as diet, have all been found to have a connection to arthritic symptoms. This is good news indeed for those who have suffered for too long from debilitating arthritis, and who have even become addicted to pain pills because of their arthritic condition.

If one is suffering from arthritis, whether rheumatoid or any form, it is likely that an overhaul of the gut, the blood, and also the diet has yet to be corrected.

So common is back pain, whether chronic or acute, that reports say 80% of the population has at least felt some minor discomfort, and many have felt considerable pain leading them to seek back pain treatment for relief. Chiropractors can and do educate their patients about proper care of the spine and soft tissue surrounding it, but often it is only after the fact of an injury. In a 3-trillion-dollar-a-year industry of treating back pain, one would think that a prevention-based education campaign including prevention-based exercises, could be launched with great success. Back pain may have already happened through an injury at work, or a motor vehicle accident, or after years of sagging muscles that have now become a constant painful reminder that the spine just won’t stay straight.
There are many kinds of headaches, such as sinus headaches, tension headaches, cluster headaches, and so on. Everyday headaches are particularly troublesome to deal with. The most severe type of headache is the migraine headache. But for all of these types of headaches, there are few things more relentless or excruciating. Fully 80% of the population experiences the pain of tension headaches, migraines, cluster headaches, or some combination thereof. The pain doesn’t actually emanate from brain tissue ( there are no pain receptors in brain tissue ) but sometimes it feels like a good solution might be to chop off one’s head
Joint pain can come upon us through Rheumatoid Arthritis, Bursitis, Gout, or even a sprain. Also, as we experience the wear and tear of age, joint pain can become more intrusive in our daily life experience. For an athlete, joint pain symptoms can make the difference between winning and losing a game or a race, but it can also mean the difference between independent living and relying on others for the simplest of tasks. Is there any way to avoid this all too common complaint?
Research tells us that there can be many factors leading to lack of libido, otherwise known as lack of sex drive whether in men or women. Hormone imbalances, menopause, hysterectomy, pregnancy, nutritional deficiencies, lack of sleep, stress, the age to some degree, and certain medications can all be pointed to as leading to lack of libido. Since a healthy sex drive is considered part of a satisfying and balanced life, it is no wonder that so many who suffer from a lack of libido are anxious to find a resolution to the problem. Studies have shown that lack of libido is often tied to marital breakdowns, so this is a serious problem from a societal point of view as well.
It is probably no great consolation to know that one is not alone in one’s suffering, however, statistics show about 11% of the population also suffers from migraine headaches. Some suffer from tension migraines, others have what is known as cluster migraines, but each with its own set of intolerable symptoms of discomfort. A common pre-migraine symptom is the “aura” which is described as a change in perception, for instance, wavy lines may appear, or strange light perceptions, changes to taste and smell, and many other characteristics of this aura. The aura acts as a signal or warning that a migraine is imminent. The migraine, especially the chronic migraine, is a particularly nasty type of affliction, and costs not only employers much in lost production time, but it also costs much in the quality of life and perhaps even one’s income. It is not really possible to effectively work when a migraine comes on.
There may be few things more terrorizing than experiencing a panic attack. For those who have been lucky enough not to know what one feels like, here is a brief description. When one suffers a panic attack, one experiences a very sudden onset of symptoms like extreme fear and apprehension, shortness of breath, commonly accompanied by a strong feeling that they must escape from wherever the panic attack started. Think of sitting in your home at night, and everything is quiet. Suddenly, out of nowhere, someone is pounding loudly on your door! Think of how upsetting and frightening that could be. At these moments, adrenaline is being pumped into the bloodstream which is the source of this “fight or flight” response. It is not uncommon for the feelings to subside in about 10 minutes, but can linger for much longer before it stops completely. Additionally, the fear of having another panic attack occur can sometimes cause great distress over long periods of time.
If one is reading this article, likely it is already known all too well what protracted withdrawal means. One may have experienced the tremendous difficulties of attempting to taper off a drug that just won’t easily allow one to do so without debilitating protracted withdrawal symptoms. One may experience many symptoms such as muscle aches, cramping, brain zaps, chills, fever, pain, nausea, uncontrolled crying spells, sleepless nights and many other discomforts in protracted withdrawal.
