Natural Pain Management Program
People need pain
management if they are suffering from fibromyalgia, neuropathy,
arthritis, low back pain, sciatica, muscle strain, and other pain. Often, however, these sufferers become frustrated at having to take
ever-increasing amounts of medicine that can lead to side effects, frequently with
unsatisfactory results for control of their pain.
Dr. Tina Marcantel offers the following program to introduce patients to natural pain management through acupuncture
and anti-inflammatory enzyme therapy. Dr. Marcantel is a naturopathic doctor
practicing in Mesa, Arizona, and serving Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, and the

How
the program works:
Dr.
Marcantel will thoroughly assess your condition and develop a specific protocol
to address your complaints. Included in your therapy may be a combination of the
following:
*Acupuncture--Acupuncture
has long been recognized in Eastern medicine as an effective pain management
procedure. If you've never tried acupuncture, please read Dr. Marcantel's
article Is Acupuncture
Right for You?
*Enzyme
therapy--Anti-inflammatory enzymes reduce swelling, inflammation, and
chronic or acute pain. They are a natural alternative to non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and aspirin. Enzymes also help to
break down scar (fibrotic) tissue that can cause pain. This treatment has been
found helpful in treating arthritis, low back pain, cervical pain, sciatica,
fibromyalgia, and muscle strain.
*Diet
and exercise changes as needed.
*Stress
management counseling and relaxation techniques. Stress can exacerbate
many types of pain.
