Chronic Pain can be such a Pain
In our modern world many people are plagued with chronic pain. For some it is a mere annoyance, that aching feeling. Many tune it out, only to realize when they release the pain of how much pain they had hidden away.
When we turn to the cause of our subtle or chronic aches and pains, we find many directions. Is it dietary, or chemical exposure? Is it overuse of the body through hard work? Is it abuse caused by substance addition, like drugs, alcohol or even sugar? There is no single answer, and no solitary solution.
When we look at the many treatment plans and programs that exist today, we often see a combination of modalities. Traditional and naturopathic alike have treated chronic pain conditions with secondary practices such as yoga, meditation, diet, cleansing, and acupuncture.
A study was conducted in Toronto Canada to show the benefits of naturopathic modalities in the treatment of chronic low back pain. This study, conducted at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, included modalities such as acupuncture, breathing exercises, and dietary supplements such as calcium and magnesium.(1)
In the study traditional physiotherapy was used for half the test group, and the naturopathic treatment program was prescribed for the other half. The results showed that there was a greater decrease of chronic back pain in those who were treated by the naturopathic methods.
Nutritionally speaking, magnesium is a vital mineral nutrient, a key element in over 300 enzyme reactions in the body. According to Science Daily half of Americans do not get enough magnesium. Magnesium deficiencies can cause pain and muscle cramps as well as many other health problems.(2)
Perhaps improving our magnesium intake can bring about improvement of our mental and energy levels, giving us the extra boost we need to begin a yoga class or exercise program. With digestion concerns such as leaky gut syndrome we dont always derive enough nutrients from our food. Magnesium can be absorbed through the skin, through magnesium oil or gel, or through a magnesium bath.
